NFC Notes: Bears, Packers, Vikings

Bears

  • Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune writes the Bears could be considering former Washington RT Morgan Moses as a fallback option on the left side in case second-round OT Teven Jenkins isnโ€™t ready to start there. 
  • Biggs notes thereโ€™s been little to no movement on contract talks for WR Allen Robinson. That could change as the July 15 deadline gets closer but Biggs still thinks the Bearsโ€™ receiver plays out 2021 on the tag. 
  • Bears HC Matt Nagy said Andy Dalton is currently getting first-team reps in OTAs, while Justin Fields works with the second-team and Nick Foles as the No. 3 quarterback. (Jeff Dickerson)

Packers

  • Regarding the possibility of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers getting traded this offseason, Ian Rapoport mentioned on that Pat McAfee Show that he doesnโ€™t think โ€œitโ€™s a good possibility he gets traded at all.โ€
  • Rappoport points out that Green Bay likely wouldโ€™ve gotten a deal done ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft if they were committed to trading Rodgers.
  • Packers HC Matt LaFleur said OT David Bakhtiari is a โ€œlittle bit ahead of scheduleโ€ with his rehab from a torn ACL: โ€œI think heโ€™s a little bit ahead of schedule. Then again, thereโ€™s a long way until the start of the season.โ€ (Matt Schneidman)
  • LaFleur added that Bakhtiari has stayed in โ€œexcellent shapeโ€ as he rehabs: โ€œHeโ€™s really working hard. โ€ฆ Heโ€™s in excellent shape. Weโ€™re just going to take it one day at a time.โ€ (Ryan Wood)
  • LaFleur said there is โ€œnothing to updateโ€ regarding Rodgers and is unsure if the quarterback will attend next weekโ€™s mandatory minicamp: โ€œI donโ€™t know. Weโ€™ll see come Tuesday.โ€ (Ryan Wood)

Vikings

  • Vikings HC Mike Zimmer said DL Danielle Hunter did not appear at Wednesdayโ€™s OTAs: โ€œWeโ€™ll see when minicamp comes.โ€ (Andrew Krammer)
  • Vikingsโ€™ first-round OT Christian Darrisaw sat out Wednesdayโ€™s practice after pulling his groin muscle but is still โ€œdoing well.โ€ 
  • Vikings OT Brian Oโ€™Neill, who is entering the final year of his contract, said heโ€™s eager to sign a long-term deal with the team: โ€œNothing would make me happier than to be here long term.โ€ (Courtney Cronin)
