It has been over a month since the Chicago Bears held their final mandatory minicamp practice, but the team will kick off training camp in less than two weeks.
During Chicago's minicamps and organized team activities (OTAs), players were not allowed to wear pads and could not tackle, but that all changes once training camp begins. Most teams do not allow tackling in training camp, but the offensive linemen and defensive linemen get an opportunity to hit one another at just about every practice.
The Bears will hold their first training camp practice on July 30, and the team will spend the majority of its time on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois until camp concludes on August 15.
