The Chicago Bears returned to Halas Hall on Friday morning for their third practice of training camp.
With media and fans in attendance, there’s plenty to keep an eye on during Friday’s practice, which will be another non-padded workout. That includes developments with the offensive line following Lucas Patrick’s apparent injury and Teven Jenkins being a no-show on Thursday. Justin Fields will be looking to build on a strong Thursday practice, where his connection with Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet was on display.
Here are some instant observations from those in attendance at the Bears’ third practice of training camp:
Stay tuned to live updates throughout practice, which starts at 10 a.m. CT.
#Bears C Lucas Patrick is expected to require surgery on his right hand. This early in training camp, there is likely optimism he will be available sooner rather than later, perhaps before the season opener.

Bears C Lucas Patrick left practice yesterday with a broken thumb, a source said, but early projection is he’s back by the opener.
— Jason Lieser (@JasonLieser) July 29, 2022
Practice No. 3 has started at Halas Hall. Do not see OL Teven Jenkins at this point.
— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) July 29, 2022
Looks like a vet day for Cody Whitehair and Lucas Patrick is likely out with the thumb, so the first OL starting out warmups is LT Reiff, LG Zach Thomas, C Doug Kramer, RG Ja’Tyre Carter, RT Borom
I don’t see Teven Jenkins yet either.

#Bears guard Cody Whitehair is on the exercise bike and does not appear to be participating in individual drills.
Tight end Ryan Griffin is also over there.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) July 29, 2022
Also not seeing Thomas Graham Jr. with the rest of the defensive backs.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 29, 2022
Overseeing O-line drills on one side is GM Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus. On the other side surveying drills is asst GM Ian Cunningham.

With center Lucas Patrick (broken thumb) now sidelined for training camp, it will be interesting to see what unfolds at center for the Bears the rest of this week and beyond. It was rookie Doug Kramer who filled in immediately, and we've only seen Sam Mustipher at right guard.

During all of the drills so far, Jaquan Brisker and Eddie Jackson have been attached at the hip. #Bears

Kyler Gordon showing some impressive body control in INT drills. His center of gravity is insane. #Bears
— Duke Coughlin (@ThatPodGuyDuke) July 29, 2022
Getsy really coaching up Fields to set his feet during individuals. Looked like he was fading back on his last few throws.
— Duke Coughlin (@ThatPodGuyDuke) July 29, 2022
It would appear that Sam Kamara just came on the field and joined the defensive line groups.
He was placed on the PUP the other day. #Bears

Justin Jones beats rookie Zach Thomas for a “sack” in 11 on 11. #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 29, 2022
Cody Whitehair isn’t practicing today. Could be a vet day.
So, no Lucas Patrick, Teven Jenkins and Whitehair.
Today’s Bears starting OL in team drills is as follows:
LT Braxton Jones
LG Zachary Thomas
C Doug Kramer
RG Ja’Tyre Carter
RT Larry Borom— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) July 29, 2022
The Bears are already getting an early look at their offensive line depth. With Lucas Patrick injured, Doug Kramer is in at center. Fellow rookies Braxton Jones (LT) and Ja’Tyre Carter (RG) are also in with the ones. Teven Jenkins is not present. Cody Whitehair is not practicing.
— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) July 29, 2022
OL combination of Jones, Thomas, Kramer, Carter and Borom struggling in 11 on 11. A few pressures given up. #Bears.
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 29, 2022
Kyler Gordon intercepted Justin Fields in the red zone. Fields’ pass was behind Darnell Mooney and went off Mooney’s hand to Gordon.
On Gordon’s next snap, he locked up Mooney 1-on-1.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) July 29, 2022
Pringle has had another drop and Dante Pettis just missed another ball that was right to him.
— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) July 29, 2022
Sam Mustipher now in with Fields https://t.co/pXKbu1kpaj
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) July 29, 2022
The third rep was a likely sack/incompletion after an O-line jailbreak. The first unit O-line this morning includes four rookies at times.

Equanimeous St. Brown scored two TDs in Bears latest set of 11-on-11 red zone work. Second one was over Kyler Gordon.
— Alex Shapiro (@AlexShapiroNBCS) July 29, 2022
Kyler Gordon closed on the route to the flat from Equanimeous St. Brown and prevented him from turning the corner to get into the end zone.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 29, 2022
Equanimeous St. Brown with a couple nice catches near the goal line. His size is certainly going to help him down there.
— Sean Hammond (@sean_hammond) July 29, 2022
First 11 on 11 drill….. advantage defense. #Bears
