The trade for Khalil Mack is official and Bears head coach Matt Nagy acknowledged that the excitement is high about what his arrival means for the
team at a Sunday press conference.
Nagy added

clicked up with the acquisition of a one-time defensive player of the year. Nagy
also addressed whether he thinks Mack will be ready to face the Packers next
Sunday night after missing all offseason and preseason work during his Oakland
holdout.
“Hopefully, pretty good,” Nagy said. “We’ve got to be smart

be aggressive with that, but smart.”
Mack said he wants to play in that game and is excited about the chance to face Aaron Rodgers twice a year now that he’s in the NFC North. Given Rodgers’
15-4 record against the Bears, others in Chicago are likely excited about the
prospect of turning Mack loose in hopes of balancing things out but it will
likely be a few days before there’s any word about their plans for Week One.
More NFL players kneeled during the national anthem before Thursday night’s preseason game, and President Trump noticed.
Trump took to Twitter this morning to blast the players who declined to stand.
“The NFL players are at it again – taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem

define. They make a fortune doing what they love. Be happy, be cool! A football
game
Martin Jones Jersey , that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway.
Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be
Suspended Without Pay!”
Trump began blasting the NFL and its players for protests during the anthem last season, and he has seen it as a winning political strategy. The NFL
attempted to placate Trump by changing its rules by requiring players either to
stand on the field or remain in the locker room during the anthem, but that
policy is now being reviewed between the league and the players’
