The Chicago Bears were forced to forfeit Tuesday’s OTA practice after violating offseason rules involving contact during May practices, as laid out in the collective bargaining agreement.
Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune explained that the Bears were issued a warning for having practices with too much contact. When they failed to make adjustments, the NFL stepped in and decided they were in violation of league rules.
Head coach Matt Eberflus said there weren’t any fines to him or the organization — outside of the one forfeited practice — and that the team has learned how to practice full speed without contact.
