This will be the first offseason training program in which both helmets and coaches on the field are permitted. There's still plenty the Bears aren't allowed to work on, though. One-on-one drills in which an offensive player goes against a defensive player are prohibited. Charles Tillman and the rest of the Bears defensive backs will have to wait until training camp to take on Brandon Marshall.
