Another physical practice took place at Halas Hall during Bears training camp. Here were the standouts from Tuesday's practice.
Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2025 regular season. Under new head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are preparing a return to relevancy with important practices and meetings at Halas Hall.
The starters, such as quarterback Caleb Williams, wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore, and defensive linemen Grady Jarrett and Montez Sweat, will hone their skills as they adjust to a new system. Rookies such as tight end Colston Loveland, receiver Luther Burden III, tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and defensive tackle Shemar Turner will look to hit the ground running ahead of their first season. And depth players like offensive lineman Doug Kramer, defensive end Dominique Robinson, and safety Jonathan Owens will try and hang on to a roster spot with competition nipping at their heels.
Following every Bears' training camp practice, we at Bears Wire will highlight a select number of players who stood out during the day. Here are the players who made plays on Day 6, the first practice that included live hitting:
1. QB Caleb Williams
For the first few days of training camp practice, Williams and the offense weren't exactly firing on all cylinders. That is to be expected, however, when they are still implementing a new system. But on Tuesday, Williams showed that things are starting to click for him in Johnson's offense, as he had a number of solid throws during team drills. The second-year quarterback dialed up a deep ball for DJ Moore down the right sideline that likely would have resulted in a completion had Kyler Gordon not dragged the receiver down for a pass interference penalty. There were other intermediate throws and progressions that show Williams is processing the plays correctly. Williams hit Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and others during 11-on-11s early on as he got into a nice rhythm. Though the offense stalled out during the two-minute drills at the end, it was an encouraging day for the young quarterback by most accounts.

2. OT Ozzy Trapilo
The three-man race to be the starting left tackle continued on Tuesday between Kiran Amegadjie, Braxton Jones, and Ozzy Trapilo as each player received ample amount of snaps to show what they can do in live drills. There still isn't a clear "winner" yet, as camp is just barely a week old, but Trapilo is turning heads with how he's stacking up so far. According to CHGO's Greg Braggs Jr., Trapilo neutralized EDGE Dayo Odeyingbo on one rep, while fan @Ilannfl noted his quickness and strong base in blocking situations. It's easier to judge linemen play when the pads come on, and so far, Trapilo is making a strong case to win the starting job.

Nice anchor. Some pushback but held his own.
3. S Tysheem Johnson
Another benefit to practicing with pads is seeing hits get delivered by defenders. It seems as if rookie Tysheem Johnson was itching for the pads to come on based on his play Tuesday. Johnson, an undrafted free agent out of Oregon, laid a couple of big hits on the offense during 11-on-11s. Bear Report's Zack Pearson notes Johnson made big tackles near the sideline and in the middle of the field, which fired up his defensive teammates. Johnson comes into the league with versatility, which we know Dennis Allen likes in his players. Given his decorated college career and strong start in camp, Johnson could challenge for one of the final spots in the secondary at the end of August.

Defense was fired up. #Bears
4. LB Ruben Hyppolite
The hype surrounding rookie linebacker Ruben Hyppolite (no pun intended) had been rising over the summer due to his play in OTAs and minicamp. Now with the pads on in training camp, we're starting to see why. The fourth-round rookie was a menace in pass defense on Tuesday, breaking up multiple passes, according to Rishab Sikri, AKA DaWindyCity Productions. Hyppolite broke up a pass intended for fellow rookie Colston Loveland. CHSN's Alex Shapiro also noted Hyppolite's speed on Tuesday, which was a major reason why the Bears selected him early on Day 3. He's someone who should continue to show up on highlight reels, especially when preseason games begin.
