News, notes and nuggets from a busy Saturday at Bears training camp:
After non-contact workouts Thursday and Friday, the Bears practiced in pads for the first time Saturday.
"The effort was really good," said coach John Fox. "It's always sloppy the first day because they haven't done it for a whole year. But the effort was good, the intent was good, and we'll get a little better on the technique as we go."
Water world: After exiting Friday's practice due to dehydration, rookie defensive tackle Eddie Goldman returned to action Saturday.
