Cornerback Jaylon Johnson and linebacker Jon Rhattigan were trailing in coverage, and Johnson seemed to throw his hands up as if to say there was nothing he could do.</p><p>Loveland has emerged as the Bears’ biggest weapon, and he’s going to be especially valuable in tight spaces like the red zone.</p><p><b>Hit and miss</b><br>Williams continued his recent trend of some misfires, some great throws and an overall OK day — neither great nor terrible.</p><p>He hit wide receiver Khalif Raymond quite a bit, mostly underneath but also a beautiful lob to him on the right sideline for a 28-yard gain during a two-minute drill. However, Williams also overthrew Scotty Miller deep for a would-be touchdown during seven-on-seven work and threw a little behind Rome Odunze in the end zone and left the ball where defensive back William Wright could deflect it.</p><p><b>Getting rough</b><br>The most intense part of practice was a one-on-one special teams blocking drill in which the entire team circled around to watch.
