Transcript: Bears Head Coach Press Conference














What is the status of Chase Claypool and when is he set to return?

Chase is right where he should be in his recovery. We expect him to return to full strength week 2 and help this team compete for a playoff spot.






Over your career, what makes a team better at not turning the ball over as the season goes along? What kind of things you need to emphasize? How much of it is coaching? How much of it is a mental part? Physical part?

Attention to detail. Our coaches need to continue the importance of ball security and our players need to have the mental ability to focus on executing the end of the play. We have a saying in our offensive meetings "always hand the ball to the ref" if we are doing that after every play that means we are not turning the ball over.






























Can you speak to the overall team health?

Overall we like where we are health wise coming into week 1. We have some players returning to the lineup to help us out against a powerful Packers team. Hats off to out training staff for implementing an incredible program.
