While it’s far too early to begin speculating about how the preseason will go down, the Bears appear to be making some plans in advance.
The Bears and Broncos have requested to hold joint practices during the preseason in August, according to Broncos writer Mike Klis of 9News.
From multiple NFL sources in lobby of Broncos/Bears hotel in Indy: Broncos and Bears have requested joint practices in Denver in August. Need preseason schedule finalized first, but Fangio's Broncos and his former Bears want to practice together for 2nd time in 3 yrs. #9sports

Now, obviously this is contingent upon the finalization of the NFL’s preseason schedule. If this were to happen, the Bears and Broncos would need to play a Week 2 or 3 preseason game. While nothing is guaranteed, the Bears and Broncos have made it known that they’d like to practice together in August.
Given former Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio now coaches the Broncos and his relationship with Bears coach Matt Nagy, this would be a logical choice for joint practices in Denver.
If this indeed pans out the way both teams would like, this would mark the second time in three years that the Bears and Broncos would hold joint practices in Denver.
