Eberflus gave quite a compliment about Claypool's play in camp... he said he looks like a WR1 right now. Obviously he is not that but the point's well-taken that the guy is night and day better now that he's had a full off season to get acclimated to this Bears offense and Fields. Mooney is reportedly having a fantastic camp too. If DJ, Claypool and Mooney can all stay healthy, then this is going to be the best WR unit that the Bears have had in quite a while.

So far Chase Claypool has exceeded expectations at Bears training camp and has stacked several nice practices together.

I mean, who is? I'm watching the first preseason Thursday Night Football... the Hall of Fame Game. I'm expecting them to announce JSN's enshrinement in the Hall of Fame by halftime. Why bother making the dude play in the NFL... just crown him now.

I keep thinking that a healthy Mooney, with Claypool hitting stride, joined by D.J. Moore - and also a pretty decent TE unit now... that has to add up to a very good set of skill position support for Justin Fields this year. The team should also have one of the best run-offenses in the NFL this year too. All of that helps the passing game and Fields success here. The only thing that I do worry about is injuries to key players. Some of that will happen and is unavoidable. But I sure hope we don't have to deal with too much of it - especially with our offensive line this year. We need those 5 to be healthy.

Yup, I see that Jenkins and Davis are out atm.
Whitehair is always a question mark + he aint getting younger.
And it sounds that rookie Darnell is NOT playing well.
So, yeah, colour me worried.

I can't find a lot of detail as to what's going on with these injuries. But I found a tweet that seems to indicate that, in the past, Nate Davis has showed up a little out of shape and he may have a "soft tissue injury".

But this could be just some know-nothing posting crap on X/twitter.
