QB update

It wasn’t a busy day for the quarterbacks. Coach John Fox cut practice nearly in half, and much of the time was dedicated to field- goal work. Mark Sanchez sat out for a second consecutive day with a bruised ankle, so rookie Mitch Trubisky and Connor Shaw had better opportunities behind starter Mike Glennon. Fox seemed happy with the results. Mitch Trubisky

Observations

The practice was closed to the public, so the Bears prohibited the media from divulging details about what went on. But it was a spirited practice with good enthusiasm from start to finish, especially when guard Kyle Long got into altercations with teammates on both sides of the ball during offensive- line drills and was told to leave practice.

It was the first real altercation in 14 days of practice the media was allowed to attend. There usually are a few fights, and there were several in Fox’s first season in 2015.

‘‘ It’s something that was addressed,’’ Fox said. ‘‘ I think we handled it very well up until today.’’ Newly signed kicker

Roberto Aguayo was in uniform at practice but didn’t attempt any kicks in the team portion. Connor Barth was 12- for- 12, with a long kick beyond 50 yards but shorter than 55.
