Bears' Intense Defense Shines in Training Camp Under New Coordinator

Over the past five days of training camp, the Chicago Bears' defense has been the standout unit under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Allen has set an intense standard for his players, requiring them to complete 40 up-downs before taking the field, including those who missed the first day.

This aggressive and hungry defensive unit has been showcasing its talent across all three levels. Wide receiver DJ Moore noted that Allen's defense is constantly changing, with "not one thing that looks the same" from play to play, making it a challenge for the offense to prepare.

One key absence has been top cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who continues to be sidelined due to a leg injury suffered before training camp. In his place, Nahshon Wright has been getting first-team reps and impressing his teammates with his size, suddenness, and agility.

With the defense setting the tone early in training camp, the Bears are poised to field a formidable unit this upcoming season under Dennis Allen's leadership.
