26 Jul
Summary
- Rookie tight end Colston Loveland makes strong debut in competitive drills
- Offense has best practice so far, led by QB Caleb Williams and WR Rome Odunze
- Defensive end Montez Sweat committed to team after disappointing 2023 season
The Chicago Bears' offense has found its rhythm in the team's latest training camp practice, with several standout performances. Rookie tight end Colston Loveland, the team's 10th overall pick, made his debut in competitive drills and looked smooth, catching the balls thrown his way and giving the quarterbacks a new target. Wide receiver Rome Odunze praised Loveland's skills, saying he has "everything you desire in a tight end."
The offense as a whole had its best practice so far, with quarterback Caleb Williams leading a strong two-minute drill. Williams connected with running back D'Andre Swift, wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, and tight end Cole Kmet, capping the drive with a touchdown pass to Odunze. Odunze highlighted the importance of building chemistry with Williams and developing the fade route as a weapon in the Bears' offense.
Defensive end Montez Sweat, who was disappointed with his injury-plagued 2023 season, has committed to the team and is eager to bounce back. Head coach Ben Johnson praised Sweat's dedication, noting that he participated in voluntary spring practices, which is not something he has done in the past. Sweat has been studying tape of Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan to help him excel in the team's new defensive scheme.
