Matt Eberflus gathered up his team after the final mandatory minicamp practice Thursday and delivered the annual first rite of NFL summer: a list of what he expected his players to do — and not do— before the first practice of training camp 40 days later.
The Bears’ first-year head coach told his players to stay out of trouble and stay in shape.
“Get your track shoes on,” he said.
The first time Eberflus made the track-shoes declaration, in January, he was sitting at the podium inside Halas Hall being introduced as the Bears’ new hire.
