11 on 11 team drill

Good start to 11 on 11 drills today for the #Bears. Caleb Williams connected with Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze for touchdowns.

Best throw was to Odunze back of the end zone. Put it right on the money.

Offense struggled in two minute situation. Montez Swear would have had a sack.

Tory Taylor pinned the opposing team at the 2 yard line with a really nice punt.

Caleb Williams with some HIGHLY impressive touch in a red zone session Monday at Halas Hall.

During 11-on-11, he lofted two touchdown passes perfectly over the outstretched arms of defenders, connecting with Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze for six points.

Bears kept it clean

Bears OC Shane Waldron is happy with how the offense bounced back from Saturday’s sloppy operation. Called it a “clean” practice today.

I did not see a false start today for the #Bears offense. But there was a delay of game.

Highlights of practice

Highlights from Bears camp today, which was held indoors and without pads on.

– Caleb Williams had two nice TDs in a red zone period to Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze

– First defense won the situational period. Montez Sweat probably had a sack. He held up his hands. No contact

Best throw of the day:

Caleb Williams to Rome Odunze for a touchdown in the back left corner of the end zone. Williams put the ball in between two defenders, and Odunze made the reception in traffic.

Really good rep from the rookie duo.
