Maintaining a normal routine the week of a game in London is always a challenge for NFL teams. Bears coach Matt Eberflus is taking a different tack than the Bears did under Lovie Smith in 2011 or Matt Nagy in 2019.

The Bears were scheduled to arrive in London on Tuesday morning and conduct their regular practice schedule overseas in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The players will have Tuesday off to get acclimated after an eight-hour flight, then conduct practice as they usually do on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
