Fields notes: Choppy day for QB Justin Fields as Bears resume training camp

Practice No. 5

Justin Fields’ promising start to training camp hit a rough patch Monday with his worst passing day of the summer. The offense looked disjointed overall, and Fields’ inconsistency was at the center of it.

Rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson picked off Fields in 11-on-11 work, though the Bears still aren’t in full pads. On the next play, Fields and running back Trestan Ebner botched a pitch that led to a fumble in the backfield; it was unclear who made the error, but Fields’ pitch was too far in front of Ebner.

He was sharper in seven-on-seven drills, but still had some incomplete passes. His last stretch of 11-on-11 plays featured two intermediate completions to Chase Claypool in tight coverage, but there was a fumbled snap from Lucas Patrick and Fields’ day ended with an interception by undrafted safety Bralen Trahan.
