Head coach Ben Johnson liked that Williams is putting in the extra work ahead of training camp next month.

Thursday marked the final day of the Chicago Bears' three-day mandatory minicamp up at Halas Hall. The Bears have one more week of organized team activities next week, with head coach Ben Johnson saying the emphasis will be on young guys and special teams. So for many of the veterans, the last day of minicamp was their last organized team work until training camp in late July — and it is on them to be mentally and physically ready to go when camp opens.

The Bears held their second day of mandatory minicamp at Halas Hall on Tuesday, and Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson was among the two excused absences. But the return to active duty of another defensive back, Jaquan Brisker, was a welcome sight. Brisker said it felt great to be back on the football field. The Bears safety missed the final 11 games last season because of a concussion. "It was hard, you know, being away from football — especially week to week.

Craig Counsell says the words “consistent and reliable” don’t do justice to just how valuable Jameson Taillon has been for this Cubs team. Taillon is 4-0 with a 1.69 ERA in his last 4 starts. @cbschicago https://t.co/oOBICDNtyE
