Chicago Bears training camp report: Darnell Wright exits with apparent elbow injury

On Tuesday, Aug. 25, the Chicago Bears’ right tackle Darnell Wright left the final public practice of training camp after sustaining an apparent elbow injury. The incident occurred during Day 18 of the camp, as reported by Bears Wire, the Chicago Tribune and WGN‑TV. Coverage from Bears Wire, Yahoo Sports, Sports Illustrated, the Chicago Sun‑Times and the Chicago Bears’ official site emphasized both the injury update and the broader themes of leadership and health concerns. Yahoo Sports published a follow‑up stating Wright was “fine” and described the news as a sigh of relief, while Bears Wire relayed an insider’s report on his condition.

Sports Illustrated and the Bears’ own recap highlighted six takeaways from the session, noting both positive and negative aspects of the day’s drills. Jaylon Johnson’s comments to teammates were also highlighted in Yahoo Sports’ piece on practice dynamics. Injuries at this stage can influence depth‑chart placements and preseason game planning. The Bears entered the camp with heightened attention on leadership, as indicated by Yahoo Sports’ focus on veteran influence, and the injury spotlight reflects the broader risk of losing key linemen before the regular season.
