Velus Jones, Jr. and Byron Pringle each returned from their injuries, while newcomer Ihmir Smith-Marsette joined the group, too.
“I figure if it was like my rookie year, yeah, I probably wouldn't be ready,” Pringle said. “I took care of things in the training room and outside the training room, just keeping my body in shape. As long as you've got the endurance and the cardio, you should be good.”
That cardio work included bicycle work on the sidelines as the healthy Bears stretched and went through individual drills at training camp. In addition, Pringle jumped a lot of rope, and boxed on his off daysー no sparring, just bag work, but exhausting work all the same. Getting physically ready is all well and good, but getting mentally prepared is another thing entirely. As Eberflus said, developing the proper timing within the offense isn’t something one can recreate off the field. But Pringle has still tried to stay as dialed in as possible.
“I’ve been trying to just listen to coaching points, the communication on the field, like they’re giving it to the other guys. Just knowing I’m not trying to be a step behind when I get back on the field, so I’ve been paying attention in the meeting room and listening to everything Coach Getsy’s been coaching and points that Justin’s been saying to the fellas.”
Players like Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis have made the most of their extra opportunities while the other wideouts were hurt. It wouldn’t be surprising to see both players make a real impact this Sunday. We’ll see how long it takes the rest of the unit to catch up.
