The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for their seventh practice of training camp on Wednesday, where they conducted a non-padded practice after two intense padded sessions.
Overall, the 90-minute practice had a walkthrough feel, according to the media, following Tuesday's intense session that featured live periods. But the pads are set to come back on tomorrow ahead of a rest day Friday. Still, there were a couple notable observations from Wednesday, including quarterback Caleb Williams bouncing back with a strong 7-on-7 session, including an unlikely connection that made the catch of the day (or even training camp). There was also more clarity on the left tackle battle, and Chicago welcomed back a key defender.
Let's recap Day 7 of Bears training camp:
Lighter practice before the pads come back on: After back-to-back days in pads, including an incredibly physical and intense Tuesday session that featured several live periods, the Bears were in shells on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's padded practice. It only last 90 minutes compared to yesterday's two-hour session. According to Brad Biggs, there was a heavy red zone focus and there was "almost a walk-thru pace to much of the action." Courtney Cronin noted that "the few team periods they did were all half-speed." Biggs also added that "there weren't a lot of plays run at any speed to evaluate," noting it was a "lighter day that will be sandwiched between more intense practices."
Caleb Williams was sharp: Following a rough padded practice on Tuesday, quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense bounced back during a light, non-padded session. Williams was incredibly sharp during 7-on-7 work, where he completed 9-of-10 passes, according to Courtney Cronin. But it was receiver Kaden Davis who made the best catch of the day with a one-handed, laid out grab, per Chris Kwiecinski. Once again, the connection between Williams and tight end Colston Loveland was on display, as Brad Biggs noted Williams found Loveland "on some out routes in the red zone a few times" during 7-on-7.
