Chris Williams left practice today with tightness in his back
Some other reports from the Tribune blog:
http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribu ... -da-1.html3:45 p.m. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, sitting at the ESPN 1000 radio both here, said Devin Hester will be rewarded and that the team understands his value. Angelo also said rookie tackle Chris Williams will be "fine" after Williams left practice today with back stiffness. "Nothing to be overly alarmed about," Angelo said of of the team's first-round pick.
1:58 p.m. You can imagine the reaction after Rex Grossman just fumbled a snap from center.
1:45 p.m. The Bears signed Ryan Grice-Mullen, a receiver out of Hawaii, and cut fullback J.D Runnels.
1:41 p.m. Rookie left tackle Chris Williams walked off the field under his own power. It appeared to be an injury to his lower back or right leg.
1:35 p.m. The biggest buzz of the day was created a minute ago when Rex Grossman hit Rashied Davis with a nice deep ball. "Make it sing, Rex," a fan yelled.
1:33 p.m. Just a minute after Mike Hass soared through the air and snagged a pretty pass from Kyle Orton, Orton lofted an ugly ball down the opposite sideline that was picked off by Hunter Hillenmeyer.
1:04 p.m. Williams left the practice field with what appears to be a back injury.
12:33 p.m. Although newly signed running back Kevin Jones is on the physically unable to perform list, he's on a side field doing light running as his right knee continues to heal. Jones had surgery on his ACL last winter. Jones hopes his stint on the PUP list is a short one.
12:16 p.m. Day 2 of practice and still no sign of Devin Hester, who vowed not to return to the field until he gets a new deal. Cornerback Charles Tillman still remains out for personal reasons.

This sums my thoughts on this article up, however, I can't take credit for writing it.
"i see espn is going to have to learn about manipulating its audience. there's absolutely no way that espn's best football analyst would not know that Rex is going to start. this ploy to create interest by artificially shrinking Rex's lead is transparent. i see espn is going to have to learn that young people now, with so many alternative news sources, define themselves by authenticity. "
Doe she really think Orton is going to be the starting QB?

Practice was boring like usual. All the WR's looked good to be honest. Tommie and Dusty sat out. It was totally packed and I got there a few minutes late, it was family night and they shot off some sweet fireworks at the end. I didn't get a really good spot to watch practice, so meh :/
