To kick off training camp Tuesday, Bears general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy spoke to the media in person at Halas Hall for the first time in 18 months. Here are four things we learned from their 37-minute session:
(1) Veteran nose tackle Eddie Goldman is expected to practice with his teammates in training camp.
The Bears defense received a big boost Tuesday when Goldman reported to Halas Hall. A Pro Bowl alternate in 2019, the 6-3, 318-pounder opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. Goldman then skipped the voluntary offseason program as well as the Bears' mandatory minicamp in June. But Pace anticipates the Florida State product will practice this week. The first workout is scheduled for Wednesday, followed by the first session that's open to the public Thursday.
