    Glennon perfect, Trubisky solid: Six takeaways from Bears scrimmage

    1. What you missed: We understand the dilemma on a beautiful Saturday: Should I come downtown, battle Cubs and Lollapalooza traffic to see a 3-13 team try to win me over? Understandable.

    What you need to know from Bears camp: Mitch Trubisky steps up

    1. Mr. Biscuit Cooks: There are some days it’s difficult to differentiate between Mike Glennon, Mark Sanchez and Mitch Trubisky. Friday wasn’t one of those.

From a perfectly-placed bomb that went through Deonte...

    Prince Amukamara not ready to crown Bears wideouts yet, but ‘both have great potential'

    Victor Cruz, Cam Meredith seem cool with WR coach

    John Fox has had a winding road. Nine different stops in nine years to start his coaching career. His first NFL gig came 28 years ago with the Steelers as the secondary coach.
