Bears guard Kyle Long took another step on his road to recovery from a broken ankle Tuesday in practice, taking increased reps in 11-on-11 drills.
The three-time Pro Bowler, who missed the final seven games last year after sustaining the injury Nov. 13 in Tampa, had been relegated mostly to individual and 7-on-7 work.
It’s unclear whether Long will play in any preseason games, but the main objective is for him to be healthy when the Bears opener the regular season Sept.
