Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2025 regular season. Under new head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are preparing a return to relevancy with important practices and meetings at Halas Hall.

Before the Bears' workout Thursday, Johnson addressed his quick hook, and the short window the team has to learn his new system before the season starts.

Having a respected veteran like Byard buying into Johnson's philosophy, it's a big sign of leadership for this franchise. Johnson clearly wants to build a foundation of winning in Chicago, and getting team leaders like Byard to buy in will be crucial to building a culture that leads to success.
