Cody Whitehair just walked off the field with a trainer after getting his right hand unwrapped. Looks like he’s headed back to the locker room for further evaluation. OL/DL is currently in the middle of 1v1s.
— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) August 17, 2023
Cody Whitehair appeared to be dealing with a finger/hand issue from one-on-one drills. He went off with Bears head trainer Andre Tucker.

With no Velus Jones Jr. and Tyler Scott, it’s Joe Reed fielding kickoffs for the #Bears during 11-on-11 special teams drills.
He takes the first one across the 50 untouched before being wrapped up at the 45.

And that concludes the first special teams period. If we follow yesterdays schedule we should be moving into 11 on 11s in the redzone.

Travis Homer on a pitch left in red zone 11 on 11s, displaying some shiftiness as he gets near the end zone.

Terell Smith made a nice run “stop” in RZ drills. Read the play perfectly to get out there and meet the RB. #Bears

Elijah Hicks with a good PBU on a ball intended for Pittman in end zone. Nice play. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) August 17, 2023
Elijah Hicks with a fantastic hit on Michael Pittman in the end zone to force an incompletion.
Anthony Richardson failed to throw a touchdown pass during his session in red zone team drills.

Both 1st team offenses on both sides of the field, Bears and Colts, struggling in this first 11 on 11 red zone segment.
Anthony Richardson had one scramble for a touchdown.
Fields had trouble connecting with DJ Moore.
Both teams run game getting stuffed.
2nd teams up.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 17, 2023
I am impressed by how quickly the #Bears Defense gets outside the numbers and into the flats. Forcing guys out of bounds or wrapping them up for minimal gains.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 17, 2023
Updating the 1st team: 70, 76, 68, 64, 58
Don’t think we’ll see 65 again. But we’ll see.
— Funky Cold Luda (Taylor’s Version) (@lcm1986) August 17, 2023
Gervon Dexter just threw two haymakers at Colts G Carter O’Donnell after a red zone play. It did not escalate from there. But I can’t imagine the Bears coaches will let that slide without some form of discipline.
— Dan Wiederer (@danwiederer) August 17, 2023
Over on the other field, Fields connects with Mooney in 7v7s
— Sam Householder (@SamHouseholder) August 17, 2023
Even though Jaquan Brisker isn't practicing, he is walking along the end zone and coaching up the backups safeties that are getting reps.
On a pass breakup that Elijah Hicks forced on Michael Pittman, Brisker was right there to celebrate with his teammate.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 17, 2023
Fields threads the needle to Kmet on the next play.
— Sam Householder (@SamHouseholder) August 17, 2023
Justin Fields with a BEAUTIFUL ball to the right side of the end zone. Long throw from the left hash mark. Over the shoulder catch.
Touchdown, Bears!
— CHGO Bears (@CHGO_Bears) August 17, 2023
DJ Moore just made another jaw dropping catch during 7 on 7s.
*this is not a scheduled tweet*
— Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) August 17, 2023
Your daily DJ Moore moment comes in 7-on-7 work: Justin Fields found him on a strike for a contested catch in the end zone. Another great connection between the two.

Elijah Hicks showing up again. This time with a good pbu in the end zone during 7-on-7s.

Justin Fields and DJ Moore connect once again for another unbelievable catch on the left sidelines.
Personnel on the sidelines just shook their heads and laughed as he made the play.

Justin Fields goes 8-for-8 in 7-on-7s. Couple beautiful TD passes to DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney. Moore had a great catch over Kenny Moore.

Jaylon Johnson LOCKED DOWN Michael Pittman Jr. Richardson want s to go 11’s way but JJ wouldn’t let it happen.

PJ Walker seems to be having another good practice. Good to see. I really don’t want to spend too much time stressing about QB2.
— Funky Cold Luda (Taylor’s Version) (@lcm1986) August 17, 2023
I’m watching the Bears offense more today. Justin Fields just went 8-for-8 in red zone 7-on-7s. Spread the ball around. DJ Moore made an impressive grab. Only bought time on one of them to St. Brown.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 17, 2023
Justin Fields just lit up Red Zone 7 on 7s.
Completing throws all over the field. Underneath and over the top. Tight window throws over the middle. To a bunch of different players from DJ to Mooney to Kmet to Pettis.
Great series from QB1 here.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 17, 2023
Bears offense got some good work in the red zone during 7 on 7. Justin Fields completed all 8 passes he threw, mix of WRs,TEs and RB Travis Homer. DJ Moore had a hard fought grab near the pylon.
— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) August 17, 2023
Both teams ran red zone 7-on-7 for about 10 minutes. How many touchdown throws did the #Bears allow?
Two. Only two.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 17, 2023
In the 7 on 7s for the #Bears' Defense, the unit did a good job limiting TD passes for Anthony Richardson.
Only one passing touchdown to Evan Hull.
On one rep, Jaylon Johnson locked down Michael Pittman and Richardson was forced to roll right and throw the ball in the dirt.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 17, 2023
Bears have good coverage on the first one and make the tackle at the 20.

— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) August 17, 2023
A big scrum just broke out. Borderline fight.
Micah Baskerville looked the most pissed after the scrum started to peel off.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) August 17, 2023
Things getting chippy during the special teams period. Teams have to be separated. A collision on kickoff drills led to some jawing before things kicked off.

Two kicks, great coverage both times by Bears coverage units.
You love to see it. #Bears pic.twitter.com/fQpEOSo8lE— Jeff Berckes (@gridironborn) August 17, 2023
I’ll say, the Colts didn’t create space and have the same big kickoff returns the #Bears had. #Bears definitely won both team kickoff periods, and it wasn’t really close.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 17, 2023
The first Bears-Colts skirmish comes in special teams. Both sidelines cleared before players were separated. Matt Eberflus was in the middle breaking it up.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) August 17, 2023
A bit of scuffle on kickoff drills. Terell Smith and Zaire Franklin got into it. Some pushing. Period ended early after that. #Bears

Richardson with another keeper TD but having the red jersey on helps.

Meanwhile Bears score with Blasingame having a nice easy opening from the 2. Richardson throws a pass well off target incomplete
— Sam Householder (@SamHouseholder) August 17, 2023
In low red zone drill, Kenny Moore just blitzed and knock the ball out of Justin Fields’ hand. Matt Eberflus was right there and he didn’t like that from his former nickel back. And told him.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 17, 2023
Cole Kmet just made an unreal one handed catch leaping in the air on a high throw from Justin Fields to the right side right at the goalline.
Really nice play by the Tight End.
— CHGO Bears (@CHGO_Bears) August 17, 2023
Another fight! Think these guys are ready for a game? I couldn’t see the numbers but I’m sure either way @gridironborn would correct me.
— Sam Householder (@SamHouseholder) August 17, 2023
Another red zone team period where the Colts did not throw a touchdown pass. #Bears Defense continues to be lights out in coverage.
Colts had two scores negated due to ineligible men downfield.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 17, 2023
DeMarcus Walker and Pharaoh Brown had to be separated during team drills. Looked like someone grabbed Walker's helmet while he was on the ground. Offense and defense from both sides met in the low red zone.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) August 17, 2023
It’s getting feisty out here tonight between the Bears and Colts. A lot of pushing and shoving after the whistles. Intensity going up a notch in Westfield.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) August 17, 2023
Another scrum breaks out where whistles have to be blown to get it seperated.
Justin Jones the most pissed off this time.
Intensity definitely boiling to the surface today. DB unit from the Bears, as per usual, has been the most talkative.

Even though #Bears Jaquan Brisker isn’t in pads, he’s taking every mental rep possible. He’s standing behind the end zone, gets the play call, does his adjustment hand signals and watches intently through the rep as if he was on the field.

Fourth “fight” of the night. I use quotes because it’s all shoving and pushing. I haven’t seen any punches thrown.

DB Macon Clark with an interception to end 2nd team 11 on 11s.
DB group has been fun to watch hype each other up this year at camp.
Great energy.

Walker corrals a high snap and throws downfield but too high and out of bounds.

Lots of tempers flaring in second joint practice between #Bears and Colts. Lots of pushing and shoving after the whistle. Not really a surprise. Could see it brewing near end of last night’s practice.

Henry Black just picked off an overthrown deep ball by PJ Walker (Webster the intended receiver). Ends MTB period.

Bears’ offense struggled in the final team period. Justin Fields was picked off on a pass over the middle. Doug Kramer got pushed back into the pocket and Fields tried to thread it to Cole Kmet. The ball was tipped and picked off.
Fields hit Moore downfield to end the period…

Rough day for the first team offense. Anthony Richardson goes 2-6 in 11-on-11 drills.
Three completions called back because of ineligible receivers downfield. Two were TDs. #Colts— George Bremer (@gmbremer) August 17, 2023
