Bears players held their last padded training camp practice Wednesday and will go through a light one Thursday before heading home to wait for cut day on Saturday.
The coaches, meanwhile, will begin the conclave.
Head coach Matt Nagy, offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo and others will gather inside Halas Hall this week to try to pick the Bears’ starting quarterback: Mitch Trubisky or Nick Foles.
“It is not easy,” Nagy said Wednesday. “It’s not clear-cut.”
The Bears had hoped it would be. In the best-case scenario, the starter would have been apparent at least a week ago and allowed to increase his snap count accordingly.
