It’s been a busy day for the Chicago Bears. After completing their first day of padded practices, the team is working out some offensive players at Halas Hall.
According to Chicago Tribune’s Brad Bigg, the Bears hosted several tryouts with quarterbacks Mason Fine, Kevin Hogan and Kyle Sloter, as well running back CJ Prosise and wide receivers Austin Proehl, Jeff Badet, Rodney Adams and Alex Wesley.
Also on the list are QBs Mason Fine, Kevin Hogan and Kyle Sloter and WRs Rodney Adams, Jeff Badet and Alex Wesley.

Fine, a two-time C-USA Player of the Year, impressed during his time at North Texas. He’s coming off a season where he played 12 games and threw for 2,820 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interception. His best season came in 2017, where he threw for 4,015 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Hogan, who hasn’t played since 2018, started eight games in two years with the Cleveland Browns. During that span, he completed 60 of 101 passes (59.4%) for 621 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions for a 34.5 quarterback rating. Not exactly encouraging stats.
Sloter, a three-year veteran, has impressed in the preseason. In three preseasons, Sloter has an 11-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has averaged a 74% completion percentage and a 119.8 quarterback rating with the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings.
In four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, former third-round pick Prosise has 65 rushes for 264 yards with a 4.7 yards-per-carry average and two touchdowns in 25 games. His best season came as a rookie in 2016, where he 30 rushes for 172 yards with one touchdown and 17 receptions for 208 yards.
Proehl, the son of Ricky Proehl, is a former teammate of current Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky at North Carolina. Wesley was originally on Chicago’s 90-man roster before they waived him to make room for the required 80-man squad. Badet signed as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2018. While he’s appeared in his share of preseason games, he hasn’t seen any regular-season action.
Adams, a former fifth-round pick by the Vikings, was reinstated by the NFL back in January. He was placed on the Reserve/Retired list on April 9, 2018. Adams spent time on Minnesota’s active roster and practice squad as a rookie but never saw game action.
