Overview
- After calling Sunday’s Family Fest practice sloppy, Johnson opened Tuesday’s session with live short-yardage and goal-line drills to intensify physicality
- At least four scuffles erupted, including Rome Odunze losing his helmet, Roschon Johnson wrestling Jonathan Owens and a clash between Gervon Dexter Sr. and Braxton Jones
- Defensive back Tyrique Stevenson and cornerback Nahshon Wright described Tuesday as the most physical camp practice of their careers and praised Johnson’s demanding approach
- Coaches permitted full-contact tackling across all drills to reinforce a zero-tolerance stance on errors and test players’ responsiveness
- The Bears will carry this high-impact mentality into joint practices with the Dolphins before their August 10 preseason opener
