Bears coach Matt Nagy made a point to compliment his players on being in great shape when the Bears conducted weigh-ins and the pre-training camp conditioning test Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Our guys put in a lot of work her win the summer and you never know how that’s going to be when they come back,” Nagy said. “But they came back in really great shape — and they did awesome in the conditioning test.”
That was the good news.
The bad news was a first-day injury report that included three expected starters: Safety Eddie Jackson was put on the Non-Football Injury list with a hamstring injury he suffered during a workout; right tackle Germain Ifedi was put on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list with a hip flexor he “tweaked” during the conditioning test; and rookie left tackle Teven Jenkins did not practice because of back tightness.
