Football is back at Halas Hall.
Well, sort of, if you’re counting the sort of football without full pads on, then yes, this is football. Either way, the Chicago Bears begin their “voluntary” (it’s not advised veterans skip these workouts) organized team activities today in preparation for the 2017 season, which will indeed involve plenty of game planning. There’s also the process of cutting down a 90-man roster to an eventual game day 53 that every NFL team must go through and finalize by the time the regular season officially rolls in. But we’ll get to that after training camp concludes.
