🏈Jaylon Johnson showed up for OTAs & he's been making plays just about daily

🏈Braxton Jones trusts his lower body now and that's a world of difference

🏈Zavion Thomas' speed pops. Next step: Showing retention in training camp

We don't need to play the comparison game but the #Bears have a more versatile WR3 in Kalif Raymond.

'He has got this vertical push ... where he comes raging off the football.'

How the veteran will have a larger role in the offense than you might think.

DE Dayo Odeyongbo and LB TJ Edwards both got work in full team drills, an encouraging sign. CB Kyler Gordon was not spotted and his latest injury has robbed him of the majority of the offseason program.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

It was extra steamy for today's practice too. The #Bears are likely to have a good handful of training camp practices that are not this humid.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

#Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson exited early after what might have been an ankle or foot injury. Didn’t appear to be overly serious. LB D’Marco Jackson left near the end after he was banged up in 7-on-7.

#Bears CB Jaylon Johnson with 2 picks in minicamp today - one to end a 1st team offense drive in 2-minute drill.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

This morning's announcement from the #Bears signals one thing: Hammond is in the lead and Arlington Heights isn't out yet.

But absent action in Illinois soon - the club will pick up and head to Indiana.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

At the NFL level, Indiana is clearly in the lead for a #Bears stadium.

League approval would still need to come from stadium & finance committees as well as a full vote.

While Arlington Heights isn't dead, Illinois needs to pull together quickly to present a plan to consider.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

Anyone looking for a large plot of land in Arlington Heights?

[David Haugh @DavidHaugh]

The #Bears are expected to announce today their board of directors have voted and they will be focused on Hammond moving forward as the future site of their stadium, two legislative sources said. @thescorechicago @mullyhaugh

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

Value of contract expected to come in at $18.7 million.

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

The #Bears have agreed to terms with S Dillon Thieneman on his rookie deal, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The 25th pick will officially sign soon, leaving only seven first-round picks yet to agree to terms or sign their deals.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

Rome Odunze adjusts to a 'new normal' and in the public debate over who the #Bears No. 1 receiver will be, he should have a spot.

He led the offense in targets while missing 5 games & his hot start is too easily forgotten.

Rome on the comeback trail.

4 things we learned at Chicago Bears OTAs, including the latest on Kyler Gordon and the preseason schedule https://t.co/PNNul1LIIN

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

'Who doesn't want to be the cover of Madden? Hopefully, next year maybe the O-line gets some love or something.' - RG Jonah Jackson on #Bears QB Caleb Williams getting the cover of Madden 27.

Once upon a time, lineman @Roberto_Garza63 was for for the Spanish version of the game.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

'I’m looking forward to getting my rating up to a 99 by the end of the season.'

Taking questions for this week's #Bears Mailbag. Send them this direction.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

@theeredbar0n I said the same thing at the Jewels this morning. Thought the eggs would be on the house.

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

If the #Bears dizzying stadium quest isn't your jam ... here is a glimpse at Austin Booker, who the team has pinned high hopes to.

🏈Booker's offseason training

🏈One way they're trying to coach better on the D-line

🏈The huge opportunity ahead of him
