The Chicago Bears returned to Halas Hall on Wednesday for their second straight padded practice of training camp.
With media and fans in attendance, there’s plenty to keep an eye on during Wednesday’s practice, which is the second straight padded practice for the Bears. Following a rough outing from the offense on the first day of pads, all eyes will be on how they respond. Things have been especially rough for the offense during the two-minute drill over the last couple of days, and the hope is they can redeem themselves.
Here are some instant observations from those in attendance at the Bears’ seventh practice of training camp:
Practice has concluded.

Teven Jenkins (undisclosed, day-to-day) is not on the field right now. This would mark the 6th consecutive practice he has missed. Could shift to week-to-week here soon.
— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) August 3, 2022
Watching individuals here at the start of practice and can’t help but notice how athletic Dominique Robinson is. He easily stands out as one of the quickest moving players.

Only positive offense tweets today: Nathan Peterman on

#Bears using equipment this year that I haven’t seen in camps prior including a football on a rope that the coach holds as players punch it out so he can pull it up to quickly move to the next rep. Also a dummy with arms to simulate a players wingspan to fight through to the ball

Bears QB Justin Fields. This collage might go in the Louvre pic.twitter.com/6ZFQbWFwnH
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) August 3, 2022
Roquan Smith took a cart over to the far fields. I’m guessing he got a workout in or something (he brought his cleats). Now he’s back on the sidelines watching practice. Nothing has changed with his status.

Darnell Mooney with a shifty move to beat Kyler Gordon for a deep completion during 1v1s.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
During OL vs DL it’s Doug Kramer at center with the first team and Sam Mustipher with the 2s.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Chris Fink just got the best of Kyler Gordon on a 1v1 rep.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
My God! Darnell Mooney is something else with his route running. Drawing ooooooo’s and aaaaaaaa’s from the crowd each time.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Dazz Newsome faked out Greg Stroman who ended up falling down. Newsome just turned upfield and came away with the bomb.

#Bears O-like to start the team session:
Braxton Jones LT
Cody Whitehair LG
Doug Kramer C
Michael Schofield RG
Riley Reiff RT— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) August 3, 2022
Riley Reiff is at right tackle, Braxton Jones at left at the start of team period with the 1s. Doug Kramer getting reps at center.

Harry takes an end around for a first and delivers a big pop. I could see him getting some rushing attempts this year. #BearsCamp

Kyler Gordon lining up at nickel in the first 11v11 period of the day.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
The Chicago Bears are running a much faster/more intense practice than they ever did under the previous regime.
This is encouraging in every way.
— Vinnie Parise (@VinnieParise) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields just found St. Brown along the sideline for a big gain in the soft spot of the defense. Nice recognition and good throw.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Bears are running team drills right now. Justin Fields completes a pass to Equanimeous St. Brown on the right sideline. Jaquan Brisker was there in coverage.

Cmet with a bad drop on a good ball by fields over the middle on what would have been a first down. #Bearscamp #Bears

Fields finds ESB in Team Drills. A nice connection building there

Khalil Herbert with some good vision to find a cutback lane for a run over 10 yards.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Solid series for Fields. Complete to St.Brown on a deep cross for 20yds. Check down to Mooney then incomplete to Jones who had no separation at all. #BearsCamp

#Bears OL looks good so far.
— Barroom Network (@BarroomNetwork) August 3, 2022
Kyler Gordon is everywhere

Trestan Ebner is a tough runner. Just caught a short pass and gained a good chunk after.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields in first team drill today: 2-for-4. It includes drop by Kmet, big gain to St. Brown, a near-interception by Gordon and a short throw to Mooney.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 3, 2022
OLine appears to be holding up fine against the Defense.
— The Irish Bears Show (@IrishBearsShow) August 3, 2022
Trestan Ebner is impressing. 3 TDs in Goal Line Yesterday and showing up today also . #DaBears
— The Irish Bears Show (@IrishBearsShow) August 3, 2022
Good series for Trevor Siemian. A lot of check downs but not forcing anything. I like him to win the backup job over Nathan Peterman. #BearsCamp
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) August 3, 2022
As it has been, everything is pretty fluid. Mustipher took a few reps at center. Larry Borom took reps at right tackle with the second team.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) August 3, 2022
Darnell Mooney turns on the jets to get around Eddie Jackson after making the quick catch and ends up gaining nearly 30 yards before Brisker runs him out of bounds.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Darnell Mooney with a pretty slick move to avoid a tackler on a short completion from Fields. Mooney picked up probably an extra 20 yards.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) August 3, 2022
Jaquan Brisker gets a hand on a Justin Fields pass that was intended for Cole Kmet.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 3, 2022
Just Fields escapes the pocket, moves left and shuffles a pass to N’Keal Harry.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 3, 2022
Honestly. Jaquan Brisker can be summed up very simple.
He’s a Football Player.
A god damn football player
— The Irish Bears Show (@IrishBearsShow) August 3, 2022
No way around it bears fans 1 on 1 drills was straight up embarrassing for the offense today. It’s an offensive drill and they completed around 25% of passes. #BearsCamp
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) August 3, 2022
Darnell Mooney, pretty much every rep… pic.twitter.com/OD8yWtNjd7

This offense will improve if these things happen:
1. Justin Gets Enough Time
2. Running Game Success.— The Irish Bears Show (@IrishBearsShow) August 3, 2022
Joe Thomas with some tight coverage on David Montgomery running a route out of the backfield and forces the incompletion.

They have been alternating starting reps during team drills.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields in second team drill today: 3-for-5. It included a quick, short one to Mooney (possible hot read) turned into good gain, a PBU by Brisker (well behind Kmet), a scramble shovel to Harry, a short completion to Mooney and an out-of-bounds deep miss to Montgomery.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 3, 2022
#Bears center Lucas Patrick is watching practice with a cast on his right hand. No surprise there, just haven’t seen him in a few days.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) August 3, 2022
Bears still rotating C and RG (Doug Kramer/Sam Mustipher, Michael Schofield/Ja’Tyre Carter), but it’s once again been Riley Reiff at right tackle and Braxton Jones at left tackle.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) August 3, 2022
Bears just wrapped up a set of team drills. Best plays for the offense: deep cross from Justin Fields to Equanimeous St. Brown from the pocket, and Darnell Mooney’s moves in the open field.
Kyler Gordon had an almost INT and Jaquan Brisker broke up a pass behind Cole Kmet.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) August 3, 2022
Bears offensive line during team drills:
LT: Jones
LG: Whitehair
C: Kramer/Mustipher rotation
RG: Schofield/Carter rota
RT: ReiffFields 5-for-9 through first two team sessions. Nice long completion to St. Brown. Near INT by Gordon on another throw.
— Josh Schrock (@Schrock_And_Awe) August 3, 2022
Up an down period for the offense. Much better than 1 on 1 drills. Big play by Mooney taking a screen pass 40yd was the highlight. Defense seems to be holding more than they should be able to come Sundays. Kalil Herbert also had a nice run. #BearsCamp #Bears
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) August 3, 2022
Completions included a shovel pass to Harry and a short completion to Mooney that the receiver turned into a 20 yard gain with a juke https://t.co/TT3B7FbDZm

Justin Fields has been running for his life throughout this portion of 11v11. Pocket keeps collapsing around him in a hurry.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
Most common outcomes for 1st offense in team drills today is scramble or check down.
— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields in third team drill: one completion. It included a sack where he slipped, two busted screens (call them wins for the D), a step up and scramble up the middle and a checkdown to Herbert on 3rd and 13.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 3, 2022

The individuals on the OLine right now are just plain better at Run Blocking than Pass Blocking.
This team will have to be a run heavy offense but guys need to step up in the passing game. #DaBears

Trevor Siemian found David Moore open downfield. Moore makes the catch and runs it the rest of the way for a 50-yard score.

Nice play design and Fields was able to hit St Brown on a slant for the first down.

Justin Fields completes a pass to Equanimeous St. Brown. Joe Thomas hits Brown and the ball ends up on the ground. Jaylon Johnson picked up the fumble and returned it to the end zone.

4th and short inside the 5 and the offense couldn’t get the play off in time and had to call timeout.

Touchdown Bears!! Fields finds Mooney in the end zone on fourth down who beat Lamar Jackson.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
1st offense ends a 55-yard drive with a 3-yard TD pass from Fields to Mooney. Best throw of drive was a low angle delivery to Equanimeous St Brown.
— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) August 3, 2022
4th-and-1, easy pitch-and-catch from Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney for a Bears TD. The type of play the Packers have used with ease for years.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) August 3, 2022
Offense looking better in this series, after some struggles, highlighted by a couple Fields to St. Brown connections. And the drive ended with a Fields to Mooney short TD.
— Matt Zahn (@mattzahnsports) August 3, 2022
#Bears offense looks better today than yesterday (low bar). Justin Fields just marched and threw a TD to Darnell Mooney on fourth down.
— Patrick Finley (@patrickfinley) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields finishes ones vs ones drive with a 3 yard TD pass to Mooney. Offense went 55 yards. A lot of scrambles and check downs. Fields had a nice side arm completion to ESB. At one point, Joe Thomas forced ESB to fumble and Jaylon Johnson recovered and ran it back.
— Josh Schrock (@Schrock_And_Awe) August 3, 2022
Justin Fields just threw a PERFECT pass to Cole Kmet to pick up a first down.
It had to be an absolute dime to be a completion and it was. I am encouraged by the progress of both players so far.
— Vinnie Parise (@VinnieParise) August 3, 2022
Trevor Siemian finds Trestan Ebner wide open to his left. The running back runs away from the defense for the touchdown.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
N’Keal Harry catches a fast ball from Fields and held on despite Kindle Vildor giving him a good shot for the first down.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 3, 2022
The Bears’ offense looked more crisp in team drills today. Fewer penalties, drops and miscues than recent days. Justin Fields seemed in sync with his targets. A work in progress still but some positive strides.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) August 3, 2022
Fields did take a sack and would have been sacked again by Justin Jones but they let them play on. Lots to work on but moving in a better direction https://t.co/QnRxh9Qyt2
— Josh Schrock (@Schrock_And_Awe) August 3, 2022
Darrynton Evans has shown me something these past couple of days. Unfortunately for him he has Khalil Herbert and David Montgomery ahead of him. #BearsCamp #Bears
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) August 3, 2022
Two-minute drill, Fields leads the offense down for a field goal. Took a sack along the way, probably would’ve taken another sack from Justin Jones but they played on. Big completion to N’Keal Harry on third-and-10 kept the drive alive and got into field goal range.

Bears offense 1’s and 2’s won the two minuet drill at the end of practice. Fields and Siemian looked good completing several tough throws. #BearsCamp #BearsNation

Justin Fields in fifth team drill today: two big completions to Kmet (tough one through traffic) and Harry (3rd-and-10). It was a two-minute situation. There were sacks. But it still ended with 3 points from Santos.
