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.

5. Robert Quinn’s situation may be worth monitoring

Look, this could be a whole lot of nothing. But prized free agent acquisition Robert Quinn missed team drills today due to a personal issue. Normally that wouldn’t raise even the smallest red flag. But Nagy then talked about how Quinn was being brought on slowly and will ramp up activity.

Most reporters are saying the issue isn’t a big deal going forward and that very well may be the case. But I’ve seen enough minor camp stories become major problems later on. Hopefully whatever is preventing him from practicing passes soon and we can see Quinn test the Bears offensive tackles soon enough.
