The Chicago Bears were in pads for the first time this offseason on a hot and humid day in Lake Forest. Another training camp first today was was rookie wideout Luther Burden III back on the practice field. Burden had been nursing a soft tissue injury, but he looked spry in the clips shared on social media. As theyβve done with other returning players, Burden was eased back into the flow of practice.
In other injury news, Doug Kramer, who went down at their last practice, was not there, nor were rookie Zah Frazier or Shemar Turner. Last week it was reported that Frazier was away for personal reasons and Turner was out due to an ankle issue.
Per the team, Kramer is day to day with a leg injury. Rookie Luke Newman was getting reps with the second string at center today.
Defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon was carted off the field with what reports called possible a hand or wrist issue.
Offensive lineman Bill Murray left the field limping and had his right anle wrapped.
Now for some Tweets from those who were at Halas Hall today.
