.com's evaluations for the 16 teams
of the AFC appeared the week of July
4th): The start of NFL training camps
is still over a month away. But here's
what you need to know about the where
and when of the Chicago Bears
Training Camp.
REPORT DATES:
Rookies July 23rd, Veterans July 23rd
CAMP
OBJECTIVES: The Bears begin camp
earlier than any other NFL team (and a full
nine days before the defending NFC champion
Eagles), which makes sense for a franchise
with a great deal of work to do. After last
year's debacle at quarterback, Chicago needs
not only to determine whether Rex Grossman
is back from last year's season-ending knee
injury, but also whether Chad Hutchinson
and rookie Kyle Orton (Purdue) can be suitable
backups. All will be trying to pick up the
west coast offensive system implemented
by new coordinator Ron Turner, formerly
the head coach at Illinois. Elsewhere on
offense, new acquisition and wideout Muhsin
Muhammad (Panthers) must prove that his
Pro Bowl form of 2004 was no fluke, and
will have to make an immediate difference
for the league's lowest-scoring, worst-passing
team of last season. First- round draft
pick Cedric Benson (Texas) will seek a firm
spot in the backfield, and must beat out
incumbent Thomas Jones. Guard Roberta Garza
(Falcons) and tackle Fred Miller (Titans)
must prop up a line that allowed a league-high
66 sacks a year ago. Defensively, head coach
Lovie Smith needs linebacker Brian Urlacher
and safety Mike Brown to bounce back from
injury-plagued 2004 seasons. Disgraced former
Jet Doug Brien was brought in to replace
the unreliable Paul Edinger in the kicking
game, and has to prove he can recover from
his ugly playoff meltdown.
PRESEASON SCHEDULE:
vs. Miami (Canton, 8/8); at St. Louis (8/12);
at Indianapolis (8/20); vs. Buffalo (8/26);
vs. Cleveland (9/1)
