Chicago cornerback Terell Smith was back on the field Thursday, a positive step as the Bears worked through their joint practice with the Bengals.
Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain): Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Jones watching the DBs. Terell Smith is back at practice today for the Bears.
Fishbain's note came alongside an observation that defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Jones were watching the defensive back drill work, suggesting the Bears' secondary is managing reps as the preseason schedule tightens. Smith's return to practice adds a body back to a corner group Chicago has been rotating through camp. The Bears have leaned on depth in the defensive backfield this summer, and getting Smith back helps.
