As announced previously in this space, XFINITY from Comcast has generously agreed to support the best NFL community around -- us!  As part of that effort, XFINITY will be sponsoring our Chicago Bears’s training camp coverage as well as a variety of special editorial and interactive features on our site between now and the end of the 2011 NFL season.

We'll get the big news right out of the box. According to Zach Zaidman and multiple other outlets, Johnny Knox does not want to be traded. And according to Lovie, Johnny continues to be a "big part out of what we're going to do."

Lovie was also asked about Matt Forte's status for Saturday, responding "Why wouldn't he be ready to go?"

Other stories and updates after the jump...

Caleb Hanie was about as inconsistent as possible today. He reeled off several completions in a row and threw a nice 20-yarder to Dane Sanzenbacher, and then he throws an interception into three defenders. Charles Tillman was one of the best receivers on the field with three interceptions, including one off the hands of Roy Williams. Nick Roach also got a pick off Hanie.

Roberto Garza still looks a little uncomfortable at Center, botching both a normal snap and missing his timing with Cutler on a shotgun snap. As long as they have time to work it out, it shouldn't be as big a problem as it is.

ESPN's Kevin Seifert put together his Camp Confidential - Bears edition; take a look through it and point out anything interesting you see. And speaking of ESPN, there's a football game to watch finally! And ESPN is televising it on its Monday Night Football set! And you can watch it on XFINITY!
