Robert Quinn’s continued absence from mandatory minicamp has given the Bears even more reason to watch two defensive ends: third-year player Trevis Gipson and rookie Dominique Robinson.
“Both those guys are getting great reps right now and they’re exciting to watch,” head coach Matt Eberflus said after Wednesday’s practice. “Both are going to be good pass rushers and will continue to grow. We’re excited about both those guys, and with opportunity, you’ve got to really step up. We’ll see what happens in training camp.”
Both are fifth-round picks who switched from different positions. Gipson played defensive end at Tulsa before switching to outside linebacker — and, now, back again — in the pros.
