Matt Eberflus referenced a 40-day window between the end of the Chicago Bears’ minicamp Thursday and the opening of training camp in late July as a period for players working through injuries, such as wide receivers Chase Claypool and Darnell Mooney, to get up to speed.
It’s also nearly six weeks for general manager Ryan Poles to add a veteran edge rusher to the mix for a defense that certainly looks like it could use one.
Eberflus said late last month the team was interested in a lot of free agents and after Wednesday’s second minicamp session at Halas Hall, he said, “That is one position we are looking at and potentially we could get that done” when asked directly about adding pass-rush help in the weeks ahead.
