The Sun-Times’ Mark Potash breaks down the Bears’ 13th training camp practice:

Fuller picks off … Nagy

Coach Matt Nagy and -quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone were the featured quarterbacks for a one-on-one receiver/cornerback drill. Though Nagy showed he still throws a nice deep ball, he suffered the indignity of getting intercepted by Kyle Fuller on a mid-range throw intended for rookie Javon Wims — who later made a nifty finger-tip grab on a throw from Nagy.

“He got me. I can’t believe he got me,” Nagy said good-naturedly. “That’s ridiculous that I let that happen. That’s -unacceptable. The thing with Fuller is, he doesn’t have to say much. He just kind of gives you that look.

“I’m going to go back and watch it. I’m going to evaluate myself and see where I was, and if there were any drops in there, those guys are going to hear it.”

Trubisky-to-Robinson

It’s still only training camp, but Mitch Trubisky-to-Allen -Robinson looks like a real -connection.

“He loves football, he’s hungry to be great and he’s a very driven individual. That motivates me to get him the ball,” Trubisky said. “So I better be on top of my ‘A’ game because I know he’s bringing it every day, too.”

Other observations

Kevin White, who looks much better on short routes than deep ones, made a nice grab against tight coverage from Prince -Amukamara along the sideline.

• Nagy threw a 38-yard pass to Malachi Jones in the one-on-one drill.

• Linebacker Aaron Lynch still is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

The Latest
With all the important priorities the state has to tackle, why should Springfield rush to help the billionaire McCaskey family build a football stadium? The answer: They shouldn’t. The arguments so far don’t convince us that this project would truly benefit the public.

“Chryssa & New York” is the first museum show in North America in more than four decades to spotlight the artist. It also highlights her strong ties to Chicago’s art world.
If these plans for new stadiums from the Bears, White Sox and Red Stars are going to have even a remote chance of passage, teams will have to drastically scale back their state asks and show some tangible benefits for state taxpayers.
The Bears put the figure at $4.7 billion. But a state official says the tally to taxpayers goes even higher when you include the cost of refinancing existing debt.
Gordon will run in the November general election to fill the rest of the late Karen Yarbrough’s term as Cook County Clerk.
