Having apologized to his teammates and served his suspension by staying home from the Bears’ preseason game Friday, guard Kyle Long will return to the team’s next practice on Tuesday.
“I know Kyle is extremely remorseful,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said Sunday. “And now he has got to prove it. “
Long was kicked out of Wednesday night’s scrimmage after he took rookie defensive lineman Jalen Dalton’s helmet and attempted to beat him with it, swinging it with his left hand into a group of teammates before throwing it across the field. Long watched the rest of practice from the sideline.
