The Chicago Bears defense, per Justin Fields, decidedly won the second day of padded practice Wednesday. The Bears’ first-team offense dealt with two injuries on the interior part of the offensive line. However, tackles Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright gave up sacks on the day.
The Bears offense made some plays. UDFA Tyson Bagent made a big play on Wednesday. But the defense created several turnovers and gave the offense hell for most of the day.
Here are some major plays that stood out Wednesday.

According to Kevin Powell with WGN Radio, second-year defensive backs Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon looked dominant. Gordon was all over the place, making plays and causing turnovers.
Some good today:
-Kyler Gordon really stood out. Picked off Fields. Had a tackle for loss. And probably would have sacked Fields if they didn't let the play finish.
-Jaquan Brisker seems to be everywhere.

According to Sean Hammond, wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. got into a brief skirmish with the defense.
Things getting a little chippy out here at Halas Hall. Velus Jones Jr. was ready to take on the whole defense after a hit from Jaquan Brisker.
Brisker was being loud about it and Jones didn’t like it.

According to Nicholas Moreano with CHGO, the Bears’ offensive line is holding a bunch right now.
Travis Bell got his helmet knocked off and drew a holding penalty at the end of the first team drills. Nice job by the rookie.

Andrew Billings just drew a clear hold against Cody Whitehair.
Next play, Justin Fields is intercepted by Kyler Gordon. Fields attempted to hit Velus Jones Jr. along the right sideline.

Fields made some terrible throws. But he kept his composure and still made good plays after.
After 2 nice throws to Mooney and Claypool in the 2 minute drills.
Justin Fields follows that up with 3 more completions to Cole Kmet. The second Fields stepped up in the pocket and laid it up to Kmet who was tackled in bounds. The 3rd another strike to Kmet on the right-side…

Justin Fields was picked off on back-to-back plays in 7-on-7. Tyrique Stevenson caught one that TE Robert Tonyan should’ve caught. Jaquan Brisker snagged the second one after a ball tipped off Chase Claypool’s outstretched hand. The throw to Claypool was too high.
