Bears, Ben Johnson and offensive coordinator
Digest more
The Chicago Bears were back on the field Tuesday morning, where the pads were on for the second time this summer.
Bears coach Ben Johnson called Ryne Sandberg “a big part of my childhood” in offering condolences to the family of the Cubs’ Hall of Fame second baseman who died Monday night.
When Caleb Williams twice had difficulty getting a play called Wednesday, Ben Johnson yanked the Chicago Bears QB and the first-unit offense from the action.
Saying that two tight end sets are a Ben Johnson staple would be a slight misrepresentation, but expecting that the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator won’t dabble with sets that feature both Kmet and Loveland would be an equally big mistake.
Ben Johnson Thursday morning offered an update to some injuries and broke down the moment that looked like he tossed out the first-team offense during Wednesday's practice.
In January, Johnson was announced as the Bears’ 19th head coach in the team’s history. He previously served as an assistant coach for six years for the Detroit Lions.
Ben Johnson grants Bears' wish to be coached harder on Day 1 by yanking 1st-string offense off field
Williams had a rough morning that started with a pick-six to linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on the first snap of 11-on-11 work and later felt Johnson’s fire when the first-string offense couldn’t get lined up correctly in seven-on-seven drills. After multiple pre-snap issues, Johnson couldn’t watch anymore and yelled, “You’re out,” to the entire unit.
