The wait is finally over as the Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of training camp this week.
Bears rookies report to Halas Hall beginning Tuesday, July 16. The rest of the team will report to the team’s Lake Forest facility on Friday, July 19.
Chicago will practice for the first time on Saturday, July 20, which is closed to the public. The Bears’ first open practice will be on Friday, July 26, where a free ticket is required for entry (See the full schedule here).
The Bears have an impressive group of rookies this year, including first-round selections quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze. Both Williams and Odunze remain unsigned, as of Tuesday morning, and won’t be allowed to participate until their rookie contracts are signed.
Elsewhere, Chicago’s rookie class also features offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie, punter Tory Taylor and defensive end Austin Booker, along with a slew of other undrafted rookies vying to make the roster.
Chicago will be the focus of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer, where cameras are gearing up to film what’s shaping up to be an exciting training camp and preseason at Halas Hall.
