Chicago Bears rookie minicamp 2024: Draft picks in attendance, UDFA signings, schedule & more

The Chicago Bears selected twice in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, which ended two weeks ago. The team kicks off its rookie minicamp this weekend at Halas Hall.

Wide receiver Rome Odunze and quarterback Caleb Williams were two of the five draft selections the Bears added in April. They have also added nine rookie free agents not selected since the draft concluded.

Here is all the information on the Bears' rookie minicamp this weekend, including draft picks, undrafted free agents and players on tryouts.

When is the Bears rookie minicamp?

The Chicago Bears' training camp began on Friday, May 10. However, the team's small but intriguing rookie class arrived at Halas Hall on Thursday to prepare for rookie minicamp.

Every NFL team always begins spring practices with rookie minicamps. This month will see organized team activities (OTAs), while next month will see the start of a minicamp requiring all players. The Bears must begin preparing for the Hall of Fame game following that, so they will have a break before preseason begins.

The preseason will begin with a matchup between the Bears and the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame game before the regular season in September.
