Live updates from Bears Family Fest at Soldier Field
The Chicago Bears are getting a change of scenery on Tuesday as they head to Soldier Field for their annual Family Fest, which marks their 11th practice of training camp.
With media and fans in attendance, there’s plenty to keep an eye on during Tuesday’s practice, including how fans react to news that Roquan Smith has requested a trade. Injuries have been a focal point over the last few practices, so we’ll see if anyone returns to practice after an extra day off on Monday.
Here are some instant observations from those in attendance at the Bears’ 11th practice of training camp:
Stay tuned for live updates throughout practice, which starts around 10:35 a.m. CT.

One immediate reaction to seeing #Bears QB Justin Fields passing some balls back and fourth with Trevor Simeon…
That release is absolutely quicker. Fields’ balls also seem to have a little more zip on them too. Excited to watch scrimmages.

I’m not saying the Bears & Roquan are far apart in negotiations, but I feel as if this image is a fair representation of the current situation. pic.twitter.com/250kOoU3bQ

Others not practicing
-WR N'Keal Harry

-C Lucas Patrick
-OT Julie'n DavenportHarry sustained a significant ankle injury on Saturday. Davenport got hurt last week. Graham and Patrick have been out since week 1 of camp.

Something not enough #Bears fans are talking about: Equanimeous St. Brown is HUGE.
Standing at 6′5″, he could be the big play jump-ball WR that Chicago desperately needs in 2022.
Not to mention he is towering over everyone else out here in the WR group.

Mario Edwards gets the best of Teven Jenkins in 1-on-1 drills, but Jenkins bounced back with a good rep against Carson Taylor.

Rysen John just made a nice catch in WR/TE vs DB drills. Used his seize to his advantage. #Bears

Justin Fields hits Equanimeous St. Brown in a 1-on-1 drill in stride, who is held on the play but still makes the catch.
Fields follows it up with a BOMB to Dazz Newsome who makes a great juggling catch near the sideline. #Bears #BearsCamp

Watched some 1 on 1 drills with OL and DL. Larry Borom had a nice drill. Held his blocks on all of the reps I saw him in. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) August 9, 2022
David Moore is on the ground in pain, following a 1-on-1 rep. Getting looked at by the training staff.
Bears already without N'Keal Harry, Velus Jones, Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis at WR.

WR David Moore goes down during 1-on-1 drills after BoPete Keyes landed on his knee.
— Will DeWitt (@Wi11DeWitt) August 9, 2022
Looks like they're working on his right knee. He's in a lot of pain. Pulled his jersey up over his face. https://t.co/pAmqBcnC2u

Bears taking WR David Moore off the field on a cart after he was injured in 1 on 1s. Looked like he wasn't putting weight on his right leg.
— Colleen Kane (@ChiTribKane) August 9, 2022
Wow. Darnell Mooney just made one hell of a catch. Went up one-handed on right sideline on a pass from Justin Fields. That was impressive. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) August 9, 2022
Scrimmages just started up.
Darnell Mooney just made one of the best one-handed grabs I’ve ever seen in person on a throw from Justin Fields.
SNAGGED it from the top-shelf, OBJ style. #Bears
— Chris Maltby (@ChrisMaltbyBD) August 9, 2022
WHAT A CATCH BY @Darnell_M1! 🔥
Letting Bojack know about it too. 🗣#BearDown | #Mossed pic.twitter.com/r30bXbjdg8

Football is so cold. On one end of the field, the Bears practice. And on the other side, a teammate gets carted off. pic.twitter.com/IFO4rJYJ7g

Nicholas Morrow with a good play against the run. Strong pursuit and closed in a hurry.

Justin Fields hits a wide open Darnell Mooney over the middle on a slant route.
Excited to see a ton more of that connection in training camp and throughout the season. #Bears

Braxton Jones, once again, is the Bears LT.
