The Chicago Bears held their third organized team activity (OTA) practice on Thursday, giving observers a chance to see the team in action. However, several key players were absent from the practice field, including wide receiver Keenan Allen, defensive end Montez Sweat, tackle Darnell Wright, guard Nate Davis, and wide receiver Velus Jones. Rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze was in attendance but did not participate due to a hamstring injury suffered during rookie minicamp.
Despite missing some key players, the Bears OTA practice was open to the media. One of the most noticeable things was quarterback Caleb Williams struggling during practice. He missed numerous passes and held onto the ball too long. Head coach Matt Eberflus remained unconcerned about the missing players, noting that everyone has been present at some point during the voluntary offseason program.
Looking ahead, the Bears will have a break before returning to Halas Hall on Tuesday, May 28th for their next practice session. It will be an opportunity for the team to regroup and continue working towards their goals for the upcoming season.
In conclusion, while several key players were absent from Thursday’s OTA practice, observers were able to get a glimpse into what’s happening with this young team as they prepare for another season in Chicago.
