The Chicago Bears had several key players miss Thursday’s practice, including a player who needs to impress the coaching staff this offseason. The Bears are currently working through the voluntary portion of OTAs this month. Thursday was the first practice of OTAs open to the media.
Caleb Williams struggled at Thursday’s practice
This week, most Bears fans eagerly anticipated reports on how rookie quarterback Caleb Williams looked in practice. Williams had a horrible day of practice on Thursday. It didn’t help that he was missing two likely starters at wide receiver, Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen.
Chicago Bears WR Velus Jones Jr. missed Thursday’s practice
Another wide receiver also missed Thursday’s practice. Per Courtney Cronin with ESPN, third-year wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. was absent. Jones’ miss is notable because he’s expected to be on the bubble of roster cuts during training camp.
Darnell Wright, Nate Davis, and Montez Sweat were also absent on Thursday. Again, the practices are voluntary.
