Former Pro Bowl OL Terron Armstead Supports Ben Johnson's Intense Training Camp for Bears

The Chicago Bears are currently in the midst of a demanding 10-day training camp under head coach Ben Johnson, which has raised concerns due to a growing number of injuries. Former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Terron Armstead, who recently observed the camp, provided an optimistic perspective on the situation.

Armstead described the training camp as 'super physical,' a sentiment echoed by defensive end Austin Booker. While the intensity of the practices has led to injuries, Armstead emphasized that this is an essential time for the team to evaluate its depth and build resilience. He praised Johnson's motivational style, stating that he felt ready to play after just a few days of training.

Despite the injuries, Armstead noted that such challenges are common across the league during this period and should not deter teams from maintaining high-intensity practices. The Bears are set to ease into their first preseason game week with a lighter practice on Monday, followed by a more intense scrimmage on Tuesday, which aims to maintain the physicality established in previous sessions.
