Kyle Long sat out the first day in pads. This is par for his training camp tenure. Except for his rookie year, I can't remember when he's made it through an entire camp. How then is he going to make it for an entire season? Then Fox gives him the death sentence yesterday by saying he's "day to day".

It's a joke that he's out for soreness. Everyone is sore in camp at the beginning. That's the nature of it.

An interesting bet would be who will end up on the IR first, Long or Kevin White?

I'd take Long.

He needs shoulder surgery, he won't last 9 weeks.

I don't mean to be negative, but when you're not participating in training camp after a seven month lay-off and your job is football, I don't have sympathy for you. You're being paid to be ready.

It takes mental toughness to stay on the field. Not playing voluntarily is quitting.

He's in full pads today. I hope it stays that way.

And didn't they just give him big guaranteed $$ last year??

And to think that this is all the old son of an over loved fraud of a Hall of Famer who was picked early, had to learn how to play guard with an eye toward one day understanding how to play LEFT tackle.

Thank goodness I no longer have much of a rooting interest in the Bears

Switching positions was a Bears call not his.

Until the broken leg last year, Kyle long missed one career game before that. Rube is an absolute fucking moron.

Yep.

RR, Howie Long is a fraud? That is a bit of a stretch.

He will be in pain the entire year. He needed two surgeries in the off season but both could not be done. I think Whitehair will be playing guard this year if Grasu can show something in camp.
