The Chicago Bears definitely had an unforgettable practice Wednesday at training camp, where there were some enjoyable surprises paired with a stunning scare with running back David Montgomery suffering whats believed to be a groin strain during a handoff in practice.
There were plenty of stories to see from their latest padded practice, consisting of a quarterback that has actually taken the lead, an undrafted rookie that has actually shined and some injury updates to some prominent beginners.
Here are 5 takeaways from Wednesdays cushioned practice:

Chicago doesnt have depth behind Montgomery on their depth chart. Tarik Cohen isnt a three-down back, and inexperienced gamers Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce are next up behind Montgomery. This depth issue is absolutely nothing new, which is why calls for a free-agent addition have been loud sometimes. Nagy has actually spoken about this being the year of the contingency strategy. And the Bears much better have one in place in concerns to insurance coverage for Montgomery.
The Bears dodged a bullet with running back David Montgomerys injury on Wednesday. Following reports that feared the worst for Montgomery, Matt Nagy stated that the Bears believe its a groin stress for Montgomery.
