In a little more than a month, the Chicago Bears will open up training camp in Bourbonnais, Illinois, under the guidance of new head coach John Fox.
Fox will not be the only new face stepping onto the fields on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University in late July. Joining the new head coach will be a handful of new assistant coaches, including offensive coordinator Adam Gase and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
New general manager Ryan Pace will have his first opportunity to watch his team practice in front of fans at training camp, and the Bears will have over 40 players participating in their first training camp with the team.
Pace has been busy this offseason trying to improve a Bears team that went 5-11 last season, but there is no way of knowing how much the team has improved until it steps out onto the practice field later this summer.
During organized team activities (OTAs), players were not allowed to tackle and only wore helmets with jerseys and shorts without pads. Once training camp begins, players will be practicing in full gear.
Where does the team currently stand in the weeks leading up to the start of training camp? We explore that ahead in the Chicago Bears’ offseason state of the union.
