The Bears Den: July 30, 2015 - Training Camp Opens

As the Chicago Bears open their first Training Camp under new general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox, let's take a look at some headlines:

- John Fox speaks on quarterback Jay Cutler - "He's done everything we've asked."

- Former captain of the 1963 team, Mike Pyle, has passed away. His family thinks CTE may be a factor.

- The Chicago Bears players are arriving to camp with a "new attitude" - new in what ways?

- Rookie WR Kevin White opens camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

- The Bears sign a jack-of-all trades athlete, A.J. Cruz, to a contract.

- With the new 3-4 defense being implemented, the inside linebackers will be a critical component.

From a scheduling perspective, the team will have a pads-free preactice Thursday and Friday, have a couple of public events over the weekend, then kick off next Monday with full drills.

We're one step closer to real football!
