The Bears are in individuals right now. Chase Claypool is out there running routes with the rest of the wide receivers.
Everything seems to be all good so far.

Fields threaded the needle to DJ Moore in tight coverage from Jaylon Johnson on an in route to kick off 1 on 1s.
Great start.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
DJ Moore and Cole Kmet with back go back nice catches in 1 on 1s!

DJ Moore over Jaylon Johnson. Absolute strike from Justin Fields.
Then Fields hit Cole Kmet on a nice corner route with Jaquan Brisker in coverage.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
Chase Claypool just turned out Tyrique Stevenson on a comeback route.
Slick surfaces today with the rain earlier this morning.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 28, 2023
Chase Claypool with an athletic cut to separate and beat a defender in one-on-one drills. He’s going to be an interesting player to watch during camp. A strong early showing.

I’ve seen Chase Claypool make ✌️ nice catches already. That’s a wonderful development. #BNBearsCamp
— Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) July 28, 2023
Couple nice grabs from Claypool in 1 on 1s. One on an outside comebacker, the other on a deeper in and out with tight coverage.

Chase Claypool won both of his 1 on 1 reps against Tyrique Stevenson. On both reps, Claypool extended to make the catch. Nice hands on both reps.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
Chase Claypool and Robert Tonyan had a NICE 1 on 1 period.
Tyler Scott is not only fast he has great brakes too. #Bears #DaBears

DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney, and Chase Claypool all lined up receiver together for 11 on 11s.
As it should be. Even in a walk through

#Bears rookie DB Tyrique Stevenson continues getting every opportunity to start on the outside. Seeing some of fellow rookie DB Terell Smith sprinkled in as well.
— Mark Grote (@markgrotesports) July 28, 2023
Nearly perfect attendance at Bears camp. LB Dylan Cole, who left yesterday’s practice with an apparent injury, isn’t out here.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) July 28, 2023
Another fun 1-on-1 period. Laser from Fields to Moore. Kmet with a great route on Brisker. Claypool with a tough catch on Stevenson. Kyler Gordon with a PBU. Bears.

— Jack Wright (@BearDownJack) July 28, 2023
During this team/install period, we have seen Terell Smith in with the first team. Tyrique Stevenson did rotate in there and initially started.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
Walk through is over. Now we're going full speed.

Chase Allen got a ball punched out, picked up by DeMarquis Gates. Defense is starting to chirp out here.

BALL!

PJ Walker has a rocket for an arm. Rifled one to Tyler Scott down the middle that was dropped.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
Scott w a drop over the middle. However, reports stating he’s blazing fast. Freaking wow. True.
— Jack Wright (@BearDownJack) July 28, 2023
Really nice cutback by Khalil Herbert. pic.twitter.com/a8xaDiuBL8
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 28, 2023
Fields finds Moore with 3 defenders around him for a nice pitch and catch.
They make it look easy.

They continue to make plays. Every day occurrence.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 28, 2023
Team: Tough drop for Tyler Scott after a nice route.
DJ Moore continues to be DJ Moore. Man or zone this guy is ALWAYS open. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) July 28, 2023
Justin Fields to DJ Moore for a connection through traffic in team drills. They seem plenty synced up already.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) July 28, 2023
Darnell Mooney is doing some side work with sprinting and cuts during special teams, this as part of his ramp-up period returning from injury.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) July 28, 2023
#Bears WR Darnell Mooney, as we were told to expect, is working one one with a performance staff member at the moment. Taking some precautions until the start of the season.
— Mark Grote (@markgrotesports) July 28, 2023
Watching the defensive line up close and rookies Gervon Dexter and Zacch Pickens are advertised. They’re both among the biggest in the entire group. #Bears
— Usayd Koshul (@usaydkoshul) July 28, 2023
I repeat, the pace, efficiency, urgency, and pace of practice under Flus is night and day from the practices visor coach conducted.
— Jack Wright (@BearDownJack) July 28, 2023
DJ Moore has definitely gotten the better of Jaylon Johnson today. #Bears
— Usayd Koshul (@usaydkoshul) July 28, 2023
For @black_42: Equanimeous St.Brown just caught a pass. #Bears
— Usayd Koshul (@usaydkoshul) July 28, 2023
Pretty laid back day at #Bears training camp. A lot of install going on during the team portion of practice.
Let's see if things pick up here.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
With about 15 minutes left, I will go on record to say this is the least entertaining training camp practice I have ever attended. Not much tempo or intensity. By design.
— Dan Wiederer (@danwiederer) July 28, 2023
7 on 7s are about to start.
Terell Smith is in with the starting unit opposite of Jaylon Johnson.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
I know everyone’s tweeting about Chase Claypool and DJ Moore in the 1-on-1 drills, but it’s training camp, so I’d like to tell you that Tyson Bagent showed nice touch on a pretty deep ball to Stephen Carlson.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) July 28, 2023
Bears been doing 7 on 7s the last few minutes. Not many big plays but Fields is getting rid of the ball well overall.
Fields tried going deep to Velus down the sideline and Jaylon Johnson batted it away. He's had a nice day in coverage.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
Jaylon Johnson with a nice PBU of a Justin Fields pass intended for Velus Jones Jr. up the left sideline. Maybe if you give him that extension then he woulda intercepted it. #BNBearsCamp
— Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) July 28, 2023
#Bears Jaylon Johnson with a nice pass break up down field of Velus Jones Jr. on a throw from Justin Fields in 7 on 7.
— Mark Grote (@markgrotesports) July 28, 2023
Fields tries to throw it down the deep sidelines, intended for Velus, but Jaylon Johnson trailed the play nicely and deflected it for an incomplete pass.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 28, 2023
Lot of check downs in 7-on-7 today. Fields aired it out once for Velus Jones Jr. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson got a hand on it for a PBU.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) July 28, 2023
The Bears primarily worked on their short passing game during the 7-on-7 period. The first deeper play of the session was an incomplete pass to Velus Jones Jr. down the left sideline. Jaylon Johnson extended his hand and knocked down the pass from Justin Fields.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
There is something aesthetically pleasing about watching Khalil Herbert run. #BNBearsCamp
— Funky Cold Luda (Taylor’s Version) (@lcm1986) July 28, 2023
Khalil Herbert with a nice run during team drills. The left side of the line opened up a lane.
Yes, I know the Bears aren't practicing in pads, but that lane was still there.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023

-Claypool had a nice grab over Stevenson in 1-on-1s
-Gates forced fumble (Allen) in team
-Jaylon Johnson PBU (VJJ) in 7-on-7— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) July 28, 2023
Wright was the one who let up the pressure.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
Justin Fields was just intercepted by TJ Edwards. Terell Lewis had good pressure on the right side and probably would've sacked Fields if this were a game.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 28, 2023
In 11-on-11, Justin Fields tried to find space in the pocket. He had to change his arm angle for a pass over the middle that was picked off by T.J. Edwards.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) July 28, 2023
T.J. Edwards seems to always be around the ball. Just had a NICE INT of Fields.
Edwards is gonna make a difference this year. #Bears #BearsCamp
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) July 28, 2023
Terrell Lewis immediately in the backfield on Darnell Wright. Would have been a sack. Since they aren't tackling, Fields extends the play and proceeds to throw an interception to TJ Edwards. pic.twitter.com/CmG60NVQWd
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 28, 2023
Justin Fields runs: 0
Nathan Peterman runs: 1
Bears obviously have a new weapon in the run game.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
Interesting drill going on. Nathan Peterman is just dropping the ball after he gets the snap with the defense reacting to it.@lcm1986 calls it "The Tank Drill." Beautiful.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) July 28, 2023
Really nice INT by T.J. Edwards over the middle. Great hands. Fields was under pressure on the throw and was probably sacked before the throw. I believe that’s Fields’ first interception of camp.
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) July 28, 2023
That's it for today!
Matt Eberflus addresses the team. Mostly a slow day of work and installation.

The #Bears just finished a verrrrrry light practice. Almost OTA speed. It's part of the buildup to the first day of pads next week.
