After holding joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023, the Chicago Bears will take part in a session with a different team ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
On Thursday, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus revealed that the team will hold one joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals at Halas Hall ahead of their preseason Week 2 game in Chicago.
“We are looking forward to hosting the Bengals here at Halas Hall for a practice prior to our preseason game,” he said. “We have a great respect for their organization, led by Coach Taylor.
"I’m excited about having the opportunity for us to compete, as well as the challenge that the practice presents to our team, as we get ready for the season.”
The practice will take place on Thursday, Aug. 15, with the contest between the Bears and Bengals set to take place two days later on Saturday, Aug. 17.
There will be no shortage of interesting storylines during the session. After all, it will feature the No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Caleb Williams, and one of the best signal-callers in the sport, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
