Chicago Bears Rookie Minicamp Day 2 Tidbits

Today's day two of the rookie minicamps held this weekend, so of course, we'll get into the updates. However, special teams coach Joe DeCamilis did field a question on one Pat Mannelly today...

Joe DeCamillis on Patrick Mannelly: "We just have to let it play out."

So, draw what you will from that.

If you're worried about how a quarterback could transition into the running back game, well, Tim Tebow may do well to take some lessons from Jordan Lynch, apparently.

#Bears OC Aaron Kromer says Jordan Lynch has natural vision and good feet. Feels Lynch does have RB instincts.

Aaron Kromer on Jordan Lynch: "Lynch out here so far has played tailback the whole time and is showing that he has instincts running."

Welcome to the NFL, David Fales:

David Fales on Marc Trestman's practices: "Chaos. Bring the rage."

— Zach Zaidman (@ZachZaidman) May 17, 2014

Aaron Kromer on David Fales: "Right now, he's challenging to be on the team." Kromer hopes he can eventually compete for the number two job.

Kromer thinks QB David Fales has "picked it up really quickly." #Bears

Trestman on #Bears QB depth chart behind Cutler: "We essentially have 2 spots for 3 guys (Palmer, Fales, J. Johnson)."

— Jeff Dickerson (@ESPNChiBears) May 17, 2014

#Bears coach Marc Trestman says fair to assume Jordan Palmer is the No. 2 QB, but there is competition with David Fales, Jerrod Johnson.

Note the absence of Jordan Lynch's name from the quarterback pool.

And fourth round draft pick Ka'deem Carey has turned a head or two in his short time as a Bear.

Kromer on Carey: "I didn't see a 4.7 on tape...He can get from point A to point B in a hurry."

No Pat Mannelly? No problem, as Pat O'Donnell stands pat on the Pat legacy.

#Bears rookies practiced outside at Halas Hall for the first time. Pat O'Donnell just missed the International Space Station on one punt.

LM: STC Joe DeCamillis: Biggest thing #Bears need to improve from last year on special teams is punting game.

The subject of return men also came up.

DeCamillis on #Bears return men: "We've got some guys that can return for us, for sure."

— Zach Zaidman (@ZachZaidman) May 17, 2014

DeCamillis points out that Weems, Hixon and former CFL star Chris Williams have all scored TDs as return men.

Jordan Lynch stayed after practice to field kicks. Looked good doing it.

Kyle Long's growing, y'all.

LM: Kromer compares Kyle Long's progress in a year: "from an infant who couldn't feed himself to a college graduate."

— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) May 17, 2014

Jordan Mills gave up a lot of pressure last year, but he's still slated as starting right tackle.

Veteran Eben Britton is competing to be the 6th OL on the roster, unless one of the starting 5 begins to falter. #Bears
