The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears shocked many when they finalized the trade to send wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Bears for a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Well, it looks like Claypool is expected to suit up for Chicago as soon as this Sunday.

It will be an intense process for Chase Claypool, who the Bears acquired Tuesday from the Steelers, to digest the Bears' playbook in less than five days. However, the Bears have a few methods to help the 24-year-old receiver with the tall task in front of him.

"The COVID year kind of did some really cool things in the sense of how to prepare somebody," offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said Thursday. "This guy is out, and then you have to have somebody kind of out of nowhere playing in the game. So, we have some really cool tools to help him learn what he needs to learn quickly with not having a coach with him for 24 hours a day.

"So. I think he'll be OK. We'll make sure that he's ready to rock and roll for whatever his role might be come Sunday."

Claypool's education in the Bears' offense started the second he landed in Chicago. Indeed, Wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and his assistant Omar Young were crucial in accelerating Claypool's growth in the system.

"Omar took Chase by himself to get him caught up on formations, shifts, motions, and stuff," Tolbert said Thursday. "Because when you know how to line up, he's a smart enough guy to know what the play concept is. A lot of teams run the same concepts, but when you know how to line up and how to shift in motion, that's the most important thing. "
