The Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears recently held a joint practice in preparation for their upcoming preseason game. The practice was a great opportunity for both teams to get some valuable reps in before the game. It was also a chance for two of the league’s top rookies, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Bears quarterback Justin Fields, to show off their skills.
Taylor, the Colts’ second-round pick, has been impressive in training camp and is expected to be the team’s starting running back this season. He showed off his speed and agility during the practice, making several nice runs and catching passes out of the backfield. Fields, meanwhile, has been competing with veteran Andy Dalton for the starting job in Chicago. He had a strong showing during the practice, displaying his arm strength and accuracy on deep passes.
The joint practice was also an opportunity for the two teams to get to know each other better. Colts head coach Frank Reich said that it was a great chance for the teams to build chemistry and develop relationships. Bears head coach Matt Nagy echoed those sentiments, saying that it was a great experience for both teams.
The Colts and Bears will face off in their first preseason game on August 14th. It will be interesting to see how Taylor and Fields perform in their first professional game. Both players have shown promise during training camp and this will be a great chance for them to prove themselves against a quality opponent. It should be an exciting matchup and one that fans of both teams will be looking forward to.
