Tracking quarterback Justin Fields during Bears training-camp practices:
Fields had his best practice in at least five days Sunday at “Family Fest” at Soldier Field. In the Bears’ second 11-on-11 drill at Soldier Field, Fields completed a crossing route to receiver DJ Moore, who turned up the left sideline for a 14-yard touchdown.
Fields went 4-for-4 on the drive, an upgrade over his 1-for-3 showing earlier in practice.
The quarterback was sharp in a red zone drill toward the end of practice, tossing touchdown passes to tight end Cole Kmet and Chase Claypool.
“I love the connections that we made with DJ and [Claypool],” head coach Matt Eberflus said.
In a two-minute drill, Fields marched the Bears 60 yards before throwing an incomplete pass to Kmet on a fourth-down seam route in the end zone.
Later, cornerback Jaylon Johnson made the best play of practice, jumping in front of Claypool to pick off Fields in the end zone. On the next play, Fields zipped a pass to Moore along the back line of the end zone.
