Five things we learned from Bears assistant coaches Wednesday:
They don’t need Anthony Miller.
The receiver’s decision to fight Saints instigator C.J. Gardner-Johnson — and get ejected from a playoff game — seemed to seal his departure, with even chairman George McCaskey expressing his frustration. But Miller hasn’t been traded yet, and he’s attending the Bears’ virtual meetings.
“He’s growing up, you know,” receivers coach Mike Furrey said. “He’s maturing. He’s understanding all the things that we’ve talked about really for the last couple years.”
The Bears have been frustrated by his lack of focus and precision for years.
