Fales makes most of rare opportunity

No Bears player took more "mental reps" in training camp than quarterback David Fales, who didn't practice until the team's final day in Bourbonnais due to an undisclosed illness.

"It's hard to go out there and do it sometimes," Fales said Thursday night after leading the Bears to a 24-0 win over the Cleveland Browns in the preseason finale at Soldier Field.

"It's easy to understand what's going on. But getting under center and seeing it when you're behind the line and guys are coming at you, it's different."

David Fales passed for 131 yards and two touchdowns.
