The Bears woke up Monday morning with a feeling that will only become more common as the weeks go on: it’s game week.
The team will play its first exhibition game Sunday at Soldier Field against the Miami Dolphins. Two days earlier, they’ll host the same team in a joint practice at Halas Hall. Bears starters are expected to play far more on the backfields against the Dolphins than they are on the Lakefront.
The joint practice will be the first of two in as many weeks. The Bills come to town the following week to practice on a Friday and play on a Sunday.
