The Chicago Bears have spent the last week in Bourbonnais, Illinois, for training camp, and the team has held six practices during that time.
The Bears did not wear pads in the team's first two practices, but they held their first padded practice of the offseason on August 1. Head coach John Fox was pleased with the team's effort, but he is looking forward to seeing more out of his players moving forward.
"The effort was really good," Fox said about the team's first padded practice, per Kevin Fishbain of ChicagoFootball.com. "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 bit better on the technique as we go.
