Bears Training Camp Report No. 6: Devin Bush breaks up goal line pass to Luther Burden

Breaking down the Bears’ Tuesday training camp practice:
 

What happened

The pass game struggled to find its rhythm and blew a chance to end practice on a good note. In an 11-on-11 drill without tackling, the Bears took over at their own 47, down five, with 54 seconds left. The Bears committed two false starts but drove to the 22 with about three seconds to play.

Williams then threw a seam route to Luther Burden, who was hammered by linebacker Devin Bush. The ball fell incomplete at the goal line. Burden walked off slowly.

“I was going for the ball,” Bush said. “There was nothing malicious.”

Burden said the hit was “not typical” but was more disappointed by the result.

“I expect to catch every ball,” he said.

Fight!

The first fight of camp: defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg, a sixth-round pick, tackled offensive lineman Caden Barnett after the two jawed at each other following a play. Defensive end Montez Sweat celebrated the hit.

Who’s watching

Former Saints tackle Terron Armstead, who played for Bears offensive line line coach Dan Roushar in New Orleans, and former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt chatted with general manager Ryan Poles. Fox host Curt Menefee watched practice, too.

Injury report

Cornerback Terell Smith missed practice after getting hurt Monday.

What’s next

The Bears practice Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. They will not wear pads.
