Attendance varies at voluntary Bears OTA practices from day to day, as was evident from Thursday's turnout when Keenan Allen, Darnell Wright, Nate Davis and Montez Sweat were absent.It was this way last year, as well. This is one veteran who doesn't see a need to take days off even in the offseason.
The trash talking is back and the defense was celebrating every single victory over Caleb Williams and the offense on Thursday."We're challenging ourselves," defensive coordinator Eric Washington said. "We're going to challenge the opponent. Our guys are going to back it up. That’s the thing. They are going to do that with–they been doing it–since we started.
"Obviously Jaquan is a really vocal guy who has a lot of energy," safety Kevin Byard said. "Same thing with Kyler, he has his Spiderman swag. I like that a lot."With Sweat not at Thursday's OTA, it means more reps with first and second teams for fifth-round draft pick Austin Booker.In the future, Booker will need to avoid mistakes and also make plays to get rookie playing time.
D'Andre Swift lined up with first team at running back and Khalil Herbert took some plays with the first team.Bears quarterbacks and receivers assistant Ryan Griffin is not with the team in OTAs because he's still playing football for Skorpions Varese of Italy.
