The Bears went to Northwestern Beach in Evanston on Monday and then had their most physical practice in at least a decade on Tuesday. Thursday will be no day at the beach — but it probably won’t be too much like Tuesday, either.
The Bears will practice at 11 a.m. Thursday to prepare for a joint practice Friday against the Dolphins. Coach Ben Johnson hinted that he will treat the joint practice with more emphasis than he will the game the two teams will play against each other on Sunday at Soldier Field.
