It doesn't sound too serious though. But yeah, it sucks all the same.
LINK Bears safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to begin training camp on physically unable to perform list
Pace didn’t seem overly concerned with Clinton-Dix’s knee sprain, which he considered minor, but it’s been more than a month since the injury occurred.
The veteran safety hasn’t missed a game in his NFL career, and he’s played more than 1,000 snaps in every season, so durability isn’t a long-term concern. But he’s one of the few new pieces in the Bears defense looking to avoid regression, and Pagano will need to work out the kinks of pairing Clinton-Dix with a similar style of player in Eddie Jackson.

My guess is they are just being overly cautious. As I recall they were not afraid to have other guys sit out a week here or there in last year's TC.
It does seem this regime likes to give hurt players more than enough time to heal. I am sure by week 4 a healthy knee will matter more to a veteran player.

It didn't sound like it was anything to be concerned with from reading everything about it. This group definitely wants to give players w/injuries as much time as possible.
I agree that the veterans in particular don't need a lot of work in training camp to be ready for the season. We have the talent on this team to win a championship if the the team can stay relatively healthy. Even these preseason games mean very little. They are glorified practices. Knock off some rust. Help acclimate the new guys into the Bears schemes, and of course the D will have some changes due to Pagano being the DC now. But they don't have to push vets to play now who are dinged up. Just go into that 1st regular season game against Green Bay healthy.
How are those Packers doing? What are your expectations for this year's team? Just curious.
I expect the defense to be amazing.... I have ZERO clue what the offense will be.. Seems like we fixed the offensive line which should help considerably. Right now I see the Bears in first place followed by the Packers or Vikings... If GB's offense sucks and there's injuries they could wind up last. If the defense is as good as advertised and the offense gets back to humming they could overtake the Bears for first place. I don't like facing the Bears defense week one with a new offense but... We may have a healthy Bulaga week one which will help against Mack....
