Here is the exact number of player present at the Bears minicamp
The Bears' 3-day minicamp started yesterday. It's not a mandatory camp so this means that not every player will attend.
However, according to Kevin Fishbain, 61 players and 5 tryouts are attending the minicamp.
This is really good news. This means that a lot of players are buying in and are aware of the importance of getting acclimated to the new coaching staff. QB Justin Fields mentioned that every player on the offensive side of the ball is present at the minicamp. This will give all of them extra time to prepare and learn the new plays.
On the defensive side of the ball, we know that the Bears were missing pass rusher Robert Quinn, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, safety Eddie Jackson and new defensive lineman Al-Quadin Muhammad in practice Tuesday.
There's "no concern" with players missing voluntary work, Bears coach Matt Eberflus said.
"Everybody's got their own story, and that's not a big issue," Eberflus said. "Everybody's done a good job of communicating with us, and they'll be here when they're here, and when they're here, they'll get good work."
