Bears Rookies and Stars Shine in Training Camp Ahead of 2025 Season
25 Jul
Summary
- Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze make big plays
- Defensive end Montez Sweat disrupts the offense in practice
- Rookie tight end Colston Loveland and others look to make an impact
The Chicago Bears are in the midst of their 2025 training camp, preparing for the upcoming regular season under new head coach Ben Johnson. The team is working to build chemistry and adjust to a new system, with the starters and rookies alike looking to make an impact.
Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze have been the standouts so far, connecting on several big plays during team drills. Odunze, a second-year receiver, has been a reliable target for Williams, hauling in a pair of touchdowns during red zone work. The offense is still working to come together, but the Williams-Odunze connection is a promising sign.
On the defensive side, veteran edge rusher Montez Sweat has been a disruptive force, repeatedly breaking through the offensive line to force throwaways and quarterback rollouts. While some of this was by design to get quarterback Caleb Williams accustomed to pocket breakdowns, there's no denying Sweat's impact on the practice field.
The Bears' rookie class is also making its presence felt, with tight end Colston Loveland, receiver Luther Burden III, tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and defensive tackle Shemar Turner all looking to make an immediate impact. Depth players like offensive lineman Doug Kramer, defensive end Dominique Robinson, and safety Jonathan Owens are also competing for roster spots as the team prepares for the 2025 season.
