BEARS CAMP WATCH
The Sun-Times’ Adam L. Jahns breaks down the Bears’ seventh training-camp practice:
Mitch to Allen
Quarterback Mitch Trubisky got a chance to strengthen his connection with wide receiver
Allen Robinson through more red-zone and goal-line drills on Friday.
Trubisky’s best throw was a bullet between nickel back Bryce Callahan and safety Eddie Jackson to Robinson for a touchdown.
Earlier, Robinson made a falling catch out of the back of the end zone. The nearby official ruled him out of bounds, but it was a fast play.
Tight end Adam Shaheen also was featured in the red
zone. He beat cornerback Prince
Amukamara with his size on a quick throw.
But Trubisky’s connection with Robinson was the most encouraging development of the day.
“[Robinson’s] a red-zone threat,” coach Matt Nagy said. Going deep
The Bears made it a point to go downfield in other team drills. Running back Tarik Cohen and wide receivers Anthony Miller and Kevin White scored long TDs.
Miller’s was the most impressive. He beat cornerback Kyle
Fuller, whereas White raced past undrafted rookie cornerback
Michael Joseph in coverage. Cohen took advantage of a blown coverage to catch a long, wide-open touchdown from backup Chase Daniel down the sideline.
