However, it wasn't good news during Thursday's practice as Patrick left with an apparent injury, according to Adam Hoge. Patrick walked off with trainers but took the cart to the locker room.
Rookie Doug Kramer replaced him at center and Dieter Eiselen is working with the second team.
The Bears signed Patrick to a two-year deal worth $8 million with $4 million guaranteed in his first season. Patrick comes to Chicago with a knowledge of Luke Getsy's scheme, which is helpful as he'll be the one snapping the ball to quarterback Justin Fields.
