Tune out the noise and sometimes read between the lines to understand what is going on. The Bears aren’t going into a lot of specifics about where Fields needs to improve in order for a depth-chart change. It’s likely they want to accentuate the positives — and there are plenty — while choosing to keep instructive points private. It will become unavoidable, of course, if the team gets further into the schedule and the offense is struggling, as it did the last two seasons.
“I know Roberto Clemente Jr. a little bit from some of the stuff we worked with him in the past, and it’s such a good family, and if I can even just be a speck of sand on the Clemente legacy of what he was able to do for a long time, that’s a win in my books because he was — from what I understand, everything he did philanthropically was was unbelievable,” Hendriks said. “And I think he really was a trendsetter in that realm.”
“Those three or four plays against an offense like that, against a quarterback like that, is where you get exposed,” Desai said. “You watch all 16 games played in Week 1, there’s a lot of those mishaps happening. Unfortunately, that’s not what we pride ourselves on. And our guys know that.”
Week 1 starter Jason Peters was back at practice Wednesday afternoon at Halas Hall, striving to get ready to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Soldier Field. But Peters, who suffered a quadriceps injury in the first half of the opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams, remained limited and might have an uphill climb to be ready to play a full game.
“I am writing you now to formally get the mayor’s support for pending legislation that will — FINALLY — provide an opportunity for the sky to get a gaming license,” Alter wrote. “As you know from our previous conversation, in the big gaming bill passed in (June) 2019, all the men’s professional teams were (given) the right to buy a license. The sky was not included.”
“I’ve done the reading. You can read all the books you want on Gen Z, the millennials, but unless you want to take the time and communicate and get on the same level, you won’t. I could be equally unable to communicate with baby boomers if I chose to be ineffective at communicating. A guy like Tony, he’s very aware of all the adjustments he had to make, and to me, he’s a great listener.”
“Protocol obviously is enhanced with the team and the staff, and that’s part of it, and then those that have tested positive, like everyone else, test daily now,” Payton said. “They’re going to need two negative tests essentially before they can be back in the building and working. And so we don’t know the timing or the timeframe on that.”

“When you see a new guy rolling into the clubhouse and it’s a familiar face, it brightens up the day and you’re just so pumped to see them,” Wisdom said. “I think that translates in how you feel too that you’re all pulling in the right direction. Playing alongside the guys in Iowa and out here, I think it’s definitely helped the confidence. And also, it helps you be able to relax and just play because you’ve got your friend over there, and they’re always going to have your back and I think that helps out a lot.”
“This is the first time obviously for Maryland to go there to play — which completes us now having been to every team in the Big Ten with an away game,” Locksley said. “It starts Big Ten play, which is another season for us, different than the out-of-conference games. It’s a Big Ten opener, national TV audience, so it will be the show.”
