Bears rookie TE Colston Loveland commented on the status of his recovery from shoulder sugery.
The status of new Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland’s shoulder has been a topic of discussion around the team since he was drafted in the first round this past April.
Loveland underwent AC surgery on his right shoulder in January. The injury, a Type V AC Joint dislocation, was initially suffered during a game last September, though Loveland was able to play through the injury for the rest of the 2024 college season.
Dr. Neal Elattrache, Loveland’s surgeon, had stated prior to the NFL Draft that the tight end would be ready for the start of NFL training camp this year. That said, the Bears have not confirmed whether or not they expect Loveland on the field when training camp begins.
Mike Berman of NBC Chicago asked Loveland on Tuesday morning about the shoulder injury and reports that Loveland stated his shoulder is “100%.” However, when asked if he would be on the field at the start of training camp, the tight end stated that is yet to be determined.
Colston Loveland says his shoulder is 100%, but when I asked if he’ll be out on the field when camp begins, he said TBD. #Bears
