Bears Camp Report: Darnell Wright injured, Corners return, Jordan van den Berg with the ones, and more

The Chicago Bears concluded their final training camp practice in front of fans at Halas Hall on July 31, 2026. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson brought the team together to discuss the lack of quality in practice, but tight end Cole Kmet stated it was one of their better practices thus far. The practice concluded with a red zone period, and the Bears are set to play the Tennessee Titans in the preseason finale on Saturday.

Several players left practice today due to injury, including starting right tackle Darnell Wright, who had recently suffered a similar injury last season. Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. was also sidelined, and tight end Hayden Large, cornerback Dontae Manning, running back Kyle Monangai, defensive end Austin Booker, and defensive end Marcus Davenport did not participate.

Safety Elijah Hicks and rookie linebacker Keyshaun Elliott were activated from the PUP list and participated in the practice. Quarterback Tyson Bagent returned from a hamstring issue, and cornerbacks Tyrique Stevenson, Terell Smith, and Jaylon Jones were back in team drills. Left tackle Ozzy Trapilo was in pads but only doing individual drills.

Rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg worked with the starters, and James Lynch and Cam Lewis spent time with the first team. The Bears concluded their practice with a long drive drill to test their cardio, and safety Xavier Woods intercepted Case Keenum.
