The wait is finally over as the Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of training camp next week under new head coach Ben Johnson.
Bears rookies and quarterbacks report to Halas Hall beginning Saturday, July 19. The rest of the team will report to the team’s Lake Forest facility on Tuesday, July 22.

Chicago will practice for the first time on Wednesday, July 23, which is closed to the public. The Bears’ first open practice will be on Friday, where a free ticket is required for entry.
The Bears have an impressive group of rookies this year, including several who are expected to be immediate contributors. That includes tight end Colston Loveland, wide receiver Luther Burden III and offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo and defensive tackle Shemar Turner. Other notable rookies include linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II, cornerback Zah Frazier, offensive lineman Luke Newman and running back Kyle Monangai.
All eight rookie draft picks are under contract following a delay in second-round signings, where Burden, Trapilo and Turner inked their deals recently.
Quarterback Caleb Williams is entering his sophomore season and will have a strong supporting cast around him. Chicago prioritized building around Williams this offseason, including the hiring of Johnson, revamping the interior offensive line and adding even more weapons to the mix. Safe to say, the stage is set for a Year 2 breakout.

Meanwhile, veteran Case Keenum was brought in to serve as another voice in the quarterback room while also competing with Tyson Bagent for the backup job.
