The Bears' offensive tackle returned to training camp Saturday after missing seven practices with an injury.
He only participated in individual drills. The second-year lineman wouldn't say if he got hurt during the team's first practice, or if he's still dealing with back issues after undergoing surgery, but he did say that he should be fully recovered.
"It feels really good and I'm not having any pain right now, so it's really good," he said. If I had to give myself a small percentage, it's just about working my body back into the feeling of football and getting ready to go.
He has been in the training room for the last nine days for the sake of his health.
There were trade rumors surrounding the second-round pick. The player replied to a fan who was concerned about his location to "not believe everything you read" in light of reports of a bad relationship between the player and the team.
He said that he was clashing with the coaches. I wanted to tell everyone that they don't have to believe everything that someone says. It is just how it is.
During the first week and a half of practice, coach Matt Eberflus classified the tackle as a "day-to-day" problem, but he wouldn't say much else about it. According to Getsy, he has been present during team meetings and all in.
Both Getsy and Eberflus say that the offensive line is in competition for a starting spot and that they have communicated that message to the linemen.
It's the same as everyone else, go out there and compete. Everything is free. Eberflus told them to dive in. He's been good in meetings. He has been paying attention. He has been paying close attention. He has been studying the plays at the walk-throughs. He's been doing well.
Ryan Pace was the general manager of the Bears at the time. After having back surgery before his first season, he only played 157 snaps at left tackle.
He expects to be with the team during the season. "For me, I'm a loyal kind of guy," he said. I'm going to stay with the Chicago Bears until it's time for me to leave.
During the off-season, the left tackle position was taken over by a fifth-round draft pick, and the right tackle position was taken over by a second-round pick. On the first day of camp, he got reps as a swing tackle and said he was willing to move to guard.
"Wherever they want me to play, I'm willing to do that." "Wherever they need me to play, I'm here in Chicago."
The Chicago Bears finished their ninth practice of training camp down three of their top four wide receiver.
N'Keal Harry had to be helped off the field after sustaining an injury during the first play of drills.
Eberflus said he saw him coming down. I saw the play, but I don't know a lot from there. Once we do the evaluation, we can get it back to you. We will let you know what it is. We will say that if it's day-by- day.
Pringle and Jones were not in the game. According to Eberflus, one of the Bears' top free agent signings, Pringle has a quad injury and has no timetable for a return, but the team is optimistic that he will be ready for the season.
I don't believe so. Eberflus did not think so. It's longer than a day, so there's no real timetable to return. We think it's a good situation for us.
Eberflus said that Jones Jr. is "day-to-day" and that the team's wide receiver depth isn't as good as it could be.
Eberflus said that he's always concerned about that. When you have a 90-man roster and a lot of guys go down with soft-tissue injuries, you put a lot of workload on other guys. The other guys have a chance. You have to be aware of that. We were that way. That is something we're aware of.
