COLSTON LOVELAND
Colston Loveland building strong chemistry despite being off the field Despite not being on the field for OTAs, Bears tight end Colston Loveland has been finding other ways to build chemistry with his teammates
May not be full-go for camp Bears coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that he doesn't know if Loveland (shoulder) will be a full-go at the start of training camp, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Impact Loveland said he should be ready, but Johnson didn't sound so sure. The 10th overall pick has been limited during Chicago's offseason program, with his recent workload including route-running on a side field. He underwent shoulder surgery in January, and while he's since resumed lifting weights and catching passes, he still need to regain strength. Loveland said learning the Bears' playbook has been a bigger challenge than his rehab work so far.

Remains on track for training camp Loveland (shoulder) said he expects to be fully healthy for the start of training camp late July, Chris Emma of 670 The Score reports.
Impact Loveland has been held out from on-field work throughout Chicago's entire offseason as he continues to work his way back from shoulder surgery undergone late January, which carried a six-month recovery timetable. The rookie tight end said he's currently attacking the final hurdle of his recovery -- regaining strength in his shoulder -- and that he's already able to participate in certain activities like running and catching. Bears coach Ben Johnson noted that Loveland will have catching up to do in training camp, and that he's already missed "valuable time" to build chemistry and earn the coaching staff's trust. Chicago knew the details of Loveland's recovery timetable when making the decision to draft him at No. 10 overall, meaning there are no long-term concerns about his current absence, but it could make things more difficult for the 21-year-old to overtake incumbent starting tight end Cole Kmet.

Remains sidelined at OTAs Loveland (shoulder) is present for Thursday's practice at OTAs but is not participating, Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns of The Athletic report.
Impact Loveland remains sidelined due to the shoulder injury he underwent in january to address a right Type V AC Joint dislocation. The injury prevented him from working out at the combine and participating in rookie minicamp, so the next major checkpoint for Loveland's recovery will be mandatory minicamp from June 3-5, at which time he's been expected to increase his participation level. All expectations remain that the rookie No. 10 overall pick will be a full-go for training camp. Once healthy, Loveland's draft capital and rare pass-catching ability should allow him to quickly emerge as one of Chicago's top targets, though it's difficult to project exactly how looks from Caleb Williams (wrist) will be distributed between him, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden (undisclosed).

Not ready for rookie minicamp Loveland (shoulder) is not participating in on-field work at rookie minicamp Friday as he continues to rehab from surgery undergone in January, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network...
Impact Loveland, the 10th overall pick of April's draft, is present at rookie minicamp and building familiarity with Chicago's offensive scheme and new quarterback Caleb Williams (wrist), but the tight end's workout availability is currently limited to running and controlled lifting, per Bair. The rookie first-rounder is expected to be ready for increased participation in mandatory minicamp early June and to be fully cleared for training camp in July. Loveland is a capable blocker at 6-foot-6, 260-pounds, but he figures to make his largest impact as a mismatch in the receiving game, though DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and rookie second-round pick Luther Burden represent crowded competition for targets. Cole Kmet played 87 percent of snaps last season and has two years remaining on the four-year, $50 million deal he inked with Chicago in 2023, but Loveland boasts the draft capital and skillset to push for the No. 1 role before long.
