Overview

• On Day 1 at Halas Hall, Johnson raced Caleb Williams and the first-team offense off the field for slow pre-snap mechanics to underscore his “everything matters” mantra.
• Johnson warned the Bears are under a tight practice window, extending workouts to 105 minutes and promising to rotate units swiftly if execution lags.
• Rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III remains day-to-day with a soft-tissue injury and is staying sharp with classroom work from receivers coach Antwaan Randle-El.
• Defensive tackle Shemar Turner is being evaluated for an ankle injury suffered in practice and defensive back Zah Frazier is excused from drills for personal reasons.
• The old-school coaching style marks a sharp shift from the previous regime by demanding immediate accountability and precise execution from all units.
