It was a better day for Fields than the previous one, though it was during a much shorter time period.

Fields had a big completion to Velus Jones in team drills and was six-for-six in one 7-on-7 drill. But also threw a pair of interceptions in a practice against the Colts in Westfield, Ind.

With the team working indoors because of rain and not wearing full pads, practice wasn’t particularly revealing Monday.

Fields struggled during 11-on-11 periods, stalling the offense. He tucked the ball and ran twice in an early period, a skill that’s useful on game day but not as much during drills meant to hone the Bears’ passing attack.

Despite a pair of impressive completions to DJ Moore, Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense struggled with penalties and general inconsistency in practice at training camp Wednesday.

After a choppy start to training camp, Fields seems to be leveling out.

Justin Fields was sharper than he was in his previous practice.

The Bears’ quarterback connected with the rookie from Cincinnati on a 48-yard pass in the two-minute drill, followed by a touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Moore off a scramble for the biggest plays of the Bears’ first training camp day in pads.

Fields has been looking to grow as a passer, which is imperative this season, but Monday was rough in that regard.

The Bears’ practice Saturday was decidedly more intense than Friday’s near-walk-though. Fields responded.
