QB update

Mitch Trubisky’s grand debut Thursday night in the Bears’ exhibition opener against the Broncos didn’t lead to changes to the team’s depth chart. At least for one day. Mike Glennon still is the starter, Mark Sanchez remains the backup and Trubisky still is No. 3. That’s how the Bears ran practice Saturday at Olivet Nazarene University.

“We’ve got a plan,” coach John Fox said. “We don’t share every little intricacy of the plan. But we had a plan going into that game. As we prepare and get ready for Arizona, we’ll have a plan going into this game.”

Fox said that Glennon rebounded from his poor outing against the Broncos “real well” in practice and that the firstteam offense was “pretty good.”

Glennon’s completion rate, though, dropped as practice went on. Starting cornerback­s Marcus Cooper and Prince Amukamara broke up passes against him.

Trubisky also continued to struggle in practice. Safety DeAndre Houston- Carson intercepte­d him in a goal- line drill. It appeared to be the result of a miscommuni­cation between Trubisky and slot receiver Daniel Braverman.

Observatio­ns

Receiver Tanner Gentry continued to add to his highlight reel in camp. He showed off impressive body control with a touchdown catch on a pass from Sanchez while falling in the corner of the end zone in a goal- line drill. ... Receiver Titus Davis made the catch of day. He leapt over cornerback Rashaad Reynolds for a long catch from Trubisky. He needed to reach around Reynolds to complete the catch.
