1st play of 1 on 1s goes Fields to DJ Moore with Tyrique Stevenson all over it. Incomplete out of bounds. Great coverage by the rookie!
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Mooney with a GREAT route on Kyler Gordon separating by several yards.
That looked like typical explosive Mooney. #DaBears #Bears

Fields to Mooney! #Bears pic.twitter.com/f9ns29VB1N

Darnell Mooney burns Kyler Gordon in 1 on 1s down the right side for the catch and run.
Looking healthy!

Tyler Scott with the catch after a physical jam by Terell Smith… there was a flag on the play! #Bears pic.twitter.com/jhEYKq6HW2

Justin Jones with some really good reps in 1v1 for OL/DL. Got the best of Nate Davis. #Bears

Really nice coverage from Brisker on a one on one drill. #Bears

Had Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones with some wins in 1v1 for OL/DL. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 31, 2023
Braxton v Walker. Wright v Green.
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 31, 2023
We have 1 on 1s going on right now.
Justin Fields has completed passes to Robert Tonyan, Darnell Mooney, Daurice Fountain and DJ Moore.
Only incompletion was to Tonyan on a second attempt. Jaquan Brisker played tight coverage, but the ball still hit Tonyan in the hands.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 31, 2023
Rookie corner Terell Smith with the ones in the early period. #Bears
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
DJ Moore makes easy work of Jaylon Jones and then finishes the play all the way to the end zone.
He certainly is trying to set a tone as a leader by doing that.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Standouts in one-on-ones: Robert Tonyan created a ton of space against Eddie Jackson. Darnell Mooney ran a nice route vs. Kyler Gordon.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) July 31, 2023
The WR/TE vs DB/LB 1v1s are fun and have the highlights. But man, you get some good action with the OL/DL 1v1s going on at the same time. Going to be fun watching that with the pads on too. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 31, 2023
Walk-throughs for 11 on 11s have started with CB Terrell Smith, out of Minnesota, in with the 1st team.

At the start of todays practice, Fields is working with WR's in 1 v 1.
So far, lot of Robert Tonyan out of the gate. Also have Mooney and DJ Moore getting work in.
Good start to that day!
— Just Another Year Chicago: Bears (@OfficialJAYCHI) July 31, 2023
Tyler Scott and Terrell Smith had a nice matchup in one on ones. Smith had good coverage Scott came open late to make the catch.
I like what I’m seeing from both of these guys so far in camp. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

Did not see TE Chase Allen at the start of practice No. 5. Full attendance otherwise.

Forgot to add that Chase Claypool won his 1-on-1 rep against Jaylon Johnson. Justin Fields with the throw. https://t.co/OfrmNVlSc7
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 31, 2023
Bears just finished 1 on 1s for today. Notable reps:
Tyrique Stevenson had PBU vs DJ Moore. Closed well and made leaping play on the ball
Darnell Mooney created good separation vs Kyler Gordon for catch
Jaylon Johnson played off Chase Claypool, so Clay slanted for easy catch
— Alex Shapiro (@AlexShapiroNBCS) July 31, 2023
Seeing Gervon Dexter, Tremaine Edmunds and Jaquan Brisker at each of the 3 levels is just hilarious to look at.
All 3 are so imposing with their size. Offenses will take notice.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
11 on 11 have begun!
Offense line left to right is:
Braxton Jones
Teven Jenkins
Cody Whitehair
Nate Davis
Darnell Wright— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
1st play of 11 on 11s is blown up forcing Fields out of the pocket and throwing out of bounds.
Seemed like a coverage sack. Rasheem Green with the 1st team at DE in pursuit forcing Fields out of the pocket.

#Bears defense has good coverage early on in this team period forcing the QBs to wait… and check down. #Bears

During 11-on-11, DB Bralen Trahan intercepted backup QB PJ Walker on a pass into traffic.

Gervon Dexter Jr. IMMEDIATELY in the backfield, forcing PJ Walker to throw an ill-advised interception to the safety.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Rookie Tyrique Stevenson just picked off Justin Fields intended for Chase Claypool. Ball was a little late getting there. Good play by the DB. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 31, 2023
Justin Fields was just intercepted by Tyrique Stevenson in 11 on 11s. Fields tried targetting Chase Claypool on a throw in the middle of the field. Ball looked late and Stevenson capatalized.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 31, 2023
Tyrique Stevenson with an interception on Justin Fields intended for Chase Claypool.
Stevenson looks like he's learned a thing or two after some struggles the first few days of camp.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Tyrique Stevenson just BLANKETED Chase Claypool and picked off Fields.
GREAT play by the rookie. This dude is scrappy. #DaBears #Bears #BearsCamp
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) July 31, 2023
Nice quick handoff to the fullback! #Bears
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
DL Donovan Jeter, out of Michigan, was in with the 1st team and absolutely tossed the offensive lineman across from him and immediately in the backfield for a would be sack.
Impressive display of power there.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Claypool has been putting in a ton of work today, along with getting a lot of attention from Fields. Looks like they have him going nearly if not 100%.
Fields was picked off by Stevenson when he was going to Claypool, but good to see Chase getting more action.

Trenton Gill just dropped a sweet coffin corner punt. #Bears
Rookie Tyler Scott looks very comfortable fielding punts.
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
I forgot to mention the move Tyler Scott made in 1 on 1s on a inside out curl towards the sidelines.
Disgusting. Brought Terrell Smith out of his cleats.

Love seeing the defense punching at the ball every time it’s in their vicinity.#Bears 🥜🥊
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
Nope. High intensity for a non padded practice. Not many players hitting the deck like we saw on Saturday, which is smart. Claypool did go down to the turf in a collision on the Tyrique Stevenson INT. https://t.co/uKkVpYdwGU
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
D'Onta Foreman starting off second 11 vs 11 with the ones with a nice inside run then a screen.
Can’t wait to see this guy pads. He’s quick and runs HARD. #DaBears #Bears
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) July 31, 2023
The #Bears have been lining corner Jaylon Johnson up on both sides.
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
Terrell Lewis in the backfield in a hurry there. Would have been a TFL on the run. Or at best back to the LOS. #Bears

The defense has made Justin Fields throw out of bounds multiple times with Defensive Line pressures
DeMarcus Walker in hot pursuit this time.

Fields looking to DJ Moore but checks it down. Jaylon Johnson with NICE coverage on Moore. #DaBears #Bears

DeMarcus Walker with a pressure and likely a “sack”. Beat Wright. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 31, 2023
DeMarcus Walker has had a notable presence early in camp. He’s going to be a fun player to watch when the Bears strap on the pads.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) July 31, 2023
#Bears offense with plenty of shifts and motions so far today.

A little underneath pass to Juice Herbert #Bears
(Please find ways to get him involved in the passing game!!!) pic.twitter.com/iblgpvMwnk— Jeff Berckes (@gridironborn) July 31, 2023
Offense giving the defense something to think about.
Multiple players in motion in the backfield, including DJ Moore, only to handoff to Khalil Herbert up the gut for big yardage.
That play can work a few different ways, I bet.

11 on 11s done. 7 on 7s about to start up.
A ton of action compared to Friday and Saturday!
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
CB Terrell Smith with great coverages on DJ Moore for a slant from Fields.
BUT the backside ref threw the flag on Smith and had a conversation with the DB group about it on the sidelines.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
3 straight checkdown completions from Justin Fields in 7 on 7s.
One to the left side to Tyler Scott. One to Chase Claypool over the middle. And the last to DJ Moore to the left.
Fields spreading it around and the WRs doing a nice job of creating separation and finding a soft…
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
Justin is sharp in 7 on 7s. Can't emphasize how much of a #1 DJ Moore is. He adjusts to the ball perfectly. Getting in position like he's a big man in the paint
— 79th & Halas Podcast (@79thAndHalas) July 31, 2023
I’m this 7 on 7 period it’s Sanborn back up Mike, Sewell the back up Will, and Gates the back up Sam. #Bears

Fields to Trestan Ebner on a checkdown in 7 on 7s.

Another easy checkdown to Robert Tonyan and then Khari Blasingame.
Everyone seems to be getting a touches today.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 31, 2023
First tight window attempt by Fields in 7 on 7s is incomplete and knocked down. Intended for Cole Kmet.
AJ Thomas with the coverage.

Khalil Herbert has been catching the ball well today. #Bears
— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) July 31, 2023
Overall, I think the checkdowns had nice fluidity to them. Receivers making nice moves or finding openings in the zone.
More importantly, I think Fields made quick decisions. https://t.co/98LwhMLDq6

Back to back contested catches for Chase Claypool in the 2 minute drill/11 on 11s.
1st was on Tyrique Stevenson, who was all over, great catch by Claypool.
2nd, Claypool was able to get out of bounds on the second catch.

Fields has had more check downs today than usual, but the defense kicked it up a notch and are challenging the young QB.
Fields is spreading it out to everyone though. WR's are also doing a great job at getting separation.
