Bears coach Matt Nagy’s message to his 53-man roster: ‘Create our own legacy’

The Bears’ 53-man roster, set one day earlier, didn’t change Sunday. The Bears didn’t claim anyone on waivers, nor did they sign a free agent.

Coach Matt Nagy had a message to his roster, which was made up exclusively of familiar faces, before the team practiced.

“Went back to what our message was, No. 1, when the season ended and, No. 2, in our first OTA meeting,” he said. “That message for us was to create our own legacy.

“The word ‘legacy’ has been used with a lot of different teams, and in particular us being in our 100th year this year. There’s been some great teams. Let’s do what we do. Let’s create our own. By doing that, we got to only worry about one thing, and that’s today’s practice. That’s real. We got to worry about today and then worry about tomorrow and then let’s go get that first win.”
