Swifty updates us after today's practice. It sounds like Pryor and Bill Murray are looking pretty decent on the OL. Hope that continues.

When the team returned to practice Saturday at Halas Hall, cornerback Kyler Gordon, guard Nate Davis, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, defensive end Montez Sweat and nose tackle Andrew Billings remained out. Gordon and Davis have been out for more than a week. Right tackle Darnell Wright wasn’t spotted on the practice field. He was absent Wednesday as well. Safety Jaquan Brisker appeared limited. “Going to be hopeful that they're back here the next day and we have Monday off as well,” head coach Matt Eberflus said. “That's by design to be able to get guys back so we get to the thick of this training camp session where we're getting ready for Buffalo then Cincinnati joint practice then Cincinnati.” When asked about Wright specifically, Eberflus responded, “Like I said, we’re hopeful on a lot of guys.” The absences of Wright and Davis meant a new-look starting offensive line. Matt Pryor began at right tackle, next to Bill Murray at right guard. During another series, Larry Borom played right tackle and Pryor played right guard. “You also saw a little bit different depth chart on the O-line today. That's fine,” Eberflus said. “We're just working guys to see if they can elevate with those groups.” Eberflus said they’ll start having some second- and third-team players go up against the starters to “see if they can rise as we go because we never put ceilings on players.”
