The Bears kicked off their voluntary offseason program Monday by conducting virtual meetings.


NFL teams must hold all meetings on a virtual basis throughout Phase 1 of their offseason programs, a period that has been extended this year from two to four weeks and runs through May 14.


During Phase 1, players can voluntarily work out in the weight room and individually on the field, without coaches or footballs. But no more than 20 players are allowed in the facility at the same time and no more than 10 players are permitted in the weight room at the same time.
