The Bears feel confident about the vaccination rate among their players, general manager Ryan Pace said Tuesday as veterans reported for training camp at Halas Hall.

Pace said his team was around the 85% mark. That would put the Bears on par with many around the league. Friday, NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills said 80% of players league-wide had received at least one shot. At the time, he said, nine teams had at least 90% of their players vaccinated and five had less than 70%. Those numbers were expected to climb when teams reported to camp this week.
