His team hasn’t played a game yet, but new head coach Matt Eberflus already has suffered his first loss.
The Bears’ organized team activity practice originally scheduled for Tuesday at Halas Hall was canceled by the league as punishment for having contact drills during OTA practices last month, a source confirmed.
Another source said that an NFLPA member noticed contact drills while visiting an OTA practice in May and told the team to stop doing them. The union then looked at film of subsequent practices as part of its standard follow-up procedure — and found the Bears had not ceased the forbidden activities.
