Bears Training Camp Report, Day 9: More injuries at safety

Breaking down the Bears’ Saturday training camp practice:


No one’s safe(ty)

Cam Lewis was in considerable pain at the end of practice and, after trying to stretch out his leg and hip area, was carted off the field. It was the latest injury at safety for the Bears, who lost Coby Bryant for at least two months and saw Gervarrius Owens leave on a cart Thursday. Owens was waived with an injury designation Saturday.
Lewis began training camp as the team’s slot cornerback because of Kyle Gordon’s calf injury but moved to safety when Bryant was hurt.

The Bears added depth Saturday, signing safety Brandon Hill and cornerback William Wright.

Lewis is the latest addition to an ever-longer injury list. Cornerbacks Terell Smith and Jaylon Jones, linebacker D’Marco Jackson, tackle Braxton Jones and defensive end Montez Sweat all sat out Saturday’s practice. Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills rotated in Jones’ place — and struggled. Rookie Malik Muhammad was solid in the slot. Neither Jones nor Sweat has a serious injury.

Can I kick it

After making a spectacular touchdown catch in 7-on-7 drills, tight end Colston Loveland punted the ball in celebration. That drew a flag from the referees working practice.

Sup, Coach

NBC analyst Jason Garrett gave Bears defensive backs coach Al Harris a hug as he walked onto the practice field. Garrett was the Cowboys’ head coach from 2011-19; Harris began as a Cowboys assistant in 2020.

Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and offensive line coach Dan Roushar, both former Saints assistants, missed practice to attend Drew Brees’ Pro Football Hall of Fame induction in Canton, Ohio.

What’s next?

The Bears practice at 12:30 p.m. Sunday at Halas Hall.
