Joint practices have become the norm around the league during training camp and the Chicago Bears are upping the ante with two this summer.
The Chicago Bears announced two joint practices this summer with their preseason opponents.
While dates and times aren’t public yet, the Bears said they will host both the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills at Halas Hall for joint practices.
With their regular season announcement, the Bears announced they would play the Dolphins on Sunday, Aug. 10 and the Bills on Sunday, Aug. 17.
That puts the joint practices with Miami in the window of Aug. 5-8 (probably the 7 or 8 if I had to guess).
And the joint practices with the Bills in the window of Aug. 12-15 (and likely the 14 or 15).
It will be a return for a few familiar faces, too. The Bills’ backup quarterback to Josh Allen is Mitch Trubisky. The Bills also have former Bears RB Darrynton Evans.
The Dolphins currently have former Bears players Larry Borom, James Daniels and Artie Burns.
Ticket release information for training camp will come out next month and these joint practices will be hot tickets if past experience with them is any indication.
Last year’s joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals was canceled for the public due to rain. Practice was moved inside of the Walter Payton Center.
Will you try to get tickets to one of these joint practices?
The Bears will be holding joint practices the first two weeks of the preseason with BOTH the Dolphins and Bills. At Halas Hall.
Both teams will play preseason games v Bears at Soldier Field. Those games are 8/10 and 8/17.
