It’s the dawn of a new era in Chicago Bears football.
For the first time in years, the fans have plenty to look forward to ahead of the upcoming campaign.
They had already revamped their defense last season, and Matt Eberflus is clearly a savant on that end of the field.
Now, they also have one of the most improved offenses in the game, adding D’Andre Swift.
Nonetheless, the fans are even more excited — and rightfully so — with the additions of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze.
Unfortunately, their new star wide receiver won’t be able to partake in activities in Saturday’s practice with hamstring tightness (via ProFootballTalk).

All reports show that the injury is not serious, so the Bears are taking a cautious approach and playing it safe with their new prized rookie.
The report also claims that Odunze and Williams hit the ground running right away in practice, showing instant chemistry.
Odunze was the third wide receiver taken in a stacked class, just after Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers.
The Washington product is a physical specimen with an NFL-ready body that could make an impact right away.
And with Kennan Allen most likely there for a brief stint, he could be in for an even bigger role in his second season in the game.
Hopefully, soft-tissue injuries won’t be an issue with him, and he’ll be able to stay healthy for most of his career, as there are high expectations for this team in the next couple of seasons.
