After breaking training camp over the weekend, the Chicago Bears headed back to Lake Forest, Illinois, before they traveled to Indiana to conduct two practices with the Indianapolis Colts on August 19 and 20.
Head coach John Fox thought the joint practices with the Colts were a good opportunity for his team to compete against other talented NFL players.
"I just think it's important to see other people, the styles of play," said Fox, per the Chicago Tribune's Rich Campbell. "They're a playoff team from a year ago and I know their staff pretty well; they're good guys and [we] look forward to it being competitive and yet civil.
