  "account": "The Chicago Bears returned to Halas Hall on Monday for their first practice in full pads of the summer, with safety Coby Bryant suffering an apparent left knee injury during a one-on-one drill. Bryant was taken off on a cart, drawing concern from those on hand. Quarterback Caleb Williams displayed effectiveness during drills, while receiver Luther Burden III made an impressive catch. Running back Kyle Monangai, who had been listed as day-to-day following a soft tissue injury, was spotted back on the field in full pads, which was encouraging. The Bears wrapped up a 90-minute session on the back fields, with Braxton Jones working with the first team at left tackle and Kiran Amegadjie working with the second team. Head coach Ben Johnson indicated Monangai's status was day-to-day, but his participation in full pads was a positive sign.",
