Breaking down the Bears’ Wednesday training camp practice, the first of the year:
What happened
The Bears’ first training camp practice of the year was, by Collective Bargaining Agreement mandate, light — about one hour and 15 minutes on the backfields of Halas Hall. The team won’t wear pads until Monday.
The highlight of practice came when, during a long special teams period, second-year receiver Luther Burden caught a punt with his left arm — and then, without dropping the first ball, caught the next one with his right.
Later in the period, punter Tory Taylor booted a knuckleball that landed inside the 5-yard line and kicked perfectly sideways, drawing a few gasps.
Position Battle Watch
With Kyler Gordon out with a calf injury, cornerback Jaylon Jones and cornerback/safety Cam Lewis took snaps in the slot. As was the case in the spring, Braxton Jones functioned as the first-team left tackle.
What’s next
The Bears will practice at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. As was the case Wednesday, there will be no fans in attendance.
