AP Sources: Bears not reporting to camp this week

CHICAGO (AP)—Two people familiar with the situation say the Chicago Bearswon’t report to training camp this week even if there is a new labor agreement because they need more time to prepare. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
The Bears planned to report to camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Ill., on Friday and hold their first practice the following day. That’s about a week earlier than most teams because they’re scheduled to play St. Louis in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7.
The Bears must give Olivet Nazarene 24 hours’ notice and need a few days to fill out rosters and sign draft picks, along with undrafted rookies and conventional free agents.
One person said if owners ratify a deal at their special meeting in Atlanta on Thursday, the Bears could report the following Tuesday or Wednesday, if the Hall of Fame game is still on. If the deal is ratified and the game is canceled, they would start camp around the 29th

Personally I'm hoping it's the latter. I'd rather not see them rush to play that HOF Game and risk some injuries. If the league opens for business Friday they'll still need time to organize and this years FA period is too important to not give that priority over the start of camp.

I didn't know he was in Italy. Is he scouting? I've heard of Italian BB players in the NBA but no Italian football players in the NFL. Maybe he's scouting out new recipes for Deep Dish Pizza, LOL.
Seriously, is he in Italy or were you kidding?

Could be true then that Lovie and his bride are on vacation. I think maybe Hub wishes the whole Bears team would relocate to Italy. For a guy who started out as a big Bears fan I don't think there's anybody more critical of the team who doesn't work for ESPN or whose name isn't Dilfer, LOL.
