Bears star right tackle Darnell Wright exited practice Tuesday with what looked like a right elbow injury. Dan Wiederer details what he saw for Mark Grote when Darnell Wright walked off the field. The Bears certainly can't afford for him to have a serious injury. In other news from training camp, head coach Ben Johnson indicated the Bears still aren't sure who their starting left tackle will be when they take on the Panthers in Week 1 of the regular season. When will they make that decision? Also, Johnson explained how pleased he is with quarterback Caleb Williams' progress. And there's a rumor the Bears could possibly trade defensive tackle Gervon Dexter.
