Chicago Bears training camp report for Aug. 8: Offense overcomes setbacks in 2-minute drill
The Bears offense faced a lot of tough situations a year ago. In 2022, the only thing that seemed to pull them out of holes was Justin Fields' running ability.
On the next play, Fields connected with receiver DJ Moore for a 12-yard gain, but then defensive end Rasheem Green sacked Fields on second-and-8. On third-and-17 following the sack, Fields connected with rookie speedster Tyler Scott for a big gain over the middle of the field. After the first down, the offense picked up 6 more yards on another pass to Moore before Fields spiked the ball with less than a second on the clock. Kicker Cairo Santos made a 50-yard field goal try to take the lead.
Practice highlights: The aforementioned DJ Moore had another great day of practice. He's looking like he might be Fields' best friend in the intermediate area of the field. Moore made several nice catches on comeback routes during team sessions and 7-on-7s Tuesday. His ability to create space in traffic is what makes him so good.
Injury updates: The injuries continue to pile up as training camp wears on, but there's no reason to believe any of them are serious.
