The Chicago Bears are officially getting back to work.
Today starts Phase One of their offseason workout program. Phase one won't bring much in the terms of actual football practice as it's simply 2 weeks of strength and conditioning work and physical rehabilitation only. Most coaches aren't even allowed to get the players on the field during phase one. The NFL CBA says that "only full-time or part-time strength and conditioning coaches, who have no other coaching responsibilities with the Club, shall be allowed on the field; no other coaches shall be allowed on the field or to otherwise participate in or observe activities.
