The Chicago Bears were back on the practice fields at Halas Hall after an off day, but a few players were sitting out. Head coach Matt Eberflus has already said that they would not be giving any detailed injury information during the offseason, so we’re left to wonder why Tremaine Edmunds, DeMarcus Walker, Jack Sanborn, Chase Allen, Teven Jenkins, and Nate Davis were not practicing today.
Walker and Sanborn left Tuesday’s practice early, Jenkins left Wednesday’s early, and Allen and Davis have missed their last three. Edmunds may be out for a veteran rest day, as there was no previous report of him getting dinged up.
All were in attendance, along with Dante Pettis, who is still on the NFI list, to watch their teammates practice in helmets. Also, Walker was doing some workouts on the side. Neither new Bears Yannick Ngakoue nor Marcedes Lewis made it out on the field, although Ngakoue was at Halas Hall, and he met the media this afternoon. Lewis is due at Halas Hall for his physical this afternoon, and the Bears have yet to announce who will be released to make room for the new players.
Update: Defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes has been released.

It’s early. But Gervon Dexter is having a nice camp with the #Bears. Can’t wait to see him in preseason action.

Tyler Scott broke down Michael Ojemudia on a slant.
DJ Moore > Terell Smith and he posed in the end zone.
Tyler Scott continues to dust various corners with sharp double moves creating all kinds of space.

PJ connected with Velus Jones ona. Slant route over the middle. Good route by Velus over Jaylon Jones. #Bears

In that 11-on-11 session, Gervon Dexter Sr. had pressure up the middle on P.J. Walker.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 4, 2023
Dominique Robinson had a nice swim move to get inside against Alex Leatherwood. Justin Fields still got the pass off, but Tyrique Stevenson knocked a ball out of DJ Moore's hands.

Tyler Scott made two nice catches with the second-team offense in a two-minute drill. The 2s picked up a field goal against the first-team defense.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) August 4, 2023
Noah Sewell and Terell Smith blew up a play in the backfield. Good instincts to read it and get back there. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) August 4, 2023
Red Zone 1 on 1s from Justin Fields to start have been impressive.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 4, 2023
Chase Claypool runs a post and a 1 handed catch. Extremely impressive. Nice throw from Fields.
Then, St. Brown with a stutter step shake to the left corner of the end zone with a perfect ball from Fields.
Chase Claypool TD catch in a tight window from Fields brings out some cheers from the offense. #Juice
— Mark Carman (@thecarm) August 4, 2023
1st time in 7 on 7s today for Fields the ball didn't get out quick.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 4, 2023
I thought he should've went deep down the right side to DJ Moore on Terell Smith but he didn't pull the trigger and waited for Tonges to come across the middle for a completed pass.
Still, ball didn't get out…

Justin Fields to Chase Claypol AGAIN in Red Zone 11 on 11s for the touchdown. Fade route to the corner. Wide open. Easy throw.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 4, 2023
This is becoming so customary that Claypool has come up with a celebration that he does with each teammate as they run up.
They are cooking.
First play of two minute, Josh Blackwell picks off Justin Fields. Was intended for Tonyan. Not a good throw. Pass protection was blah too. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) August 4, 2023
Put in a go-win-the-game situation, Justin Fields was intercepted by Josh Blackwell on his first throw.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 4, 2023
On his second opportunity in the drill, Fields drove the ball from the 50 to the 22 with passes to Moore, Tonyan and Claypool.
Cairo Santos made the FG from 42 for the win.
