It has been 147 days since quarterback Nick Foles was traded to the Bears, but Wednesday was the first day he was finally permitted to throw routes to his new teammates in practice.
“Think about that. We’ve had a lot of Zoom meetings, we’ve had a lot of discussions,” Bears head coach Matt Nagy said. “We can talk about it, it sounds good through this computer, but today was the very first time that our team - and I’m speaking offensively - was able to throw routes from these quarterbacks to the wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs.
