5 takeaways from Chicago Bears’ first padded practice

From the photos and videos to post-practice interviews, there was quite a bit to unpack from the Bears’ first padded practice on Monday.

Yes, this was the first padded practice and we only have a few first-hand observations of the quarterback competition between Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles. But the news coming out of Monday’s practice wasn’t very inspiring. According to multiple reporters, neither quarterback pulled away from the pack.

While this isn’t bad news, per say, it’s a similar observation from last year’s camp with Trubisky at the helm. His practices left a lot to be desired and concerns began to surface about the Bears offense. The struggles are not entirely on the passers, however. Receivers had a few bad drops as well on Monday. Still, the best thing for the Bears is to have one player separate themselves. If you have two starting quarterbacks, you don’t have any.
