- Biggest news for the #Bears on Friday injury report is that OT Ozzy Trapilo (knee) was listed as a full participant for the first time. It was a shorter practice in shorts & shells but another positive development in his comeback. Would expect Braxton Jones to start.

This is a GOOD preview. · Quoting Clay Harbor: BEARS vs. PANTHERS early PREVIEW
A few things I’m watching Week 1:
▪️ Carolina’s offense has to take a jump. Last year: 27th in scoring and 27th in total offense. Dave Canales has handed play-calling to OC Brad Idzik so Bears won’t have real tendencies on him.
▪️ Tet McMillan is a problem. 6’4”, 70 catches, 1,014 yards and 7 TDs as a rookie. Big play threat obviously.
▪️ Carolina is beat up at OT. Ikem Ekwonu is still recovering from his torn patellar tendon and Taylor Moton is out. They do have legitimate depth with former Packers starter Rasheed Walker and first-round rookie Monroe Freeling.
▪️ Jalen Coker is an underrated matchup. Really good from the slot. He only played 11 regular-season games last year, then went 9 catches for 134 yards against the Rams in the playoffs.
▪️ The Panthers invested heavily in their front seven. Jaelan Phillips gives them a legitimate edge threat, Devin Lloyd is a smart, versatile three-down LB…

- Jedrick Wills is on the list of cuts for the #Bears per @AdamSchefter and I think it's very possible Kiran Amegadjie is waived. Would leave the team with Theo Benedet behind starters Braxton Jones/Darnell Wright while Ozzy Trapilo continues to mend.
- Braxton Jones has been working exclusively with the 1s in this practice and now Jedrick Wills, who was playing at LT with the 2s, has left the field with athletic trainer Andre Tucker.
- No sign of Austin Booker at Bears practice. Braxton Jones is LT1 and Jedrick Wills was LT2, with Theo Benedet at RT2. Tyson Bagent, Tyrique Stevenson, Luke Newman and Terell Smith are back to full participants.
