Although players won’t officially report to training camp at Olivet Nazarene University until Friday, players who want to collect their roster bonuses must show up Wednesday to get their physicals.
That means quarterback Jay Cutler, linebackers Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, safety Chris Harris, cornerback Charles Tillman, tight end Greg Olsen, defensive end Julius Peppers and running back Chester Taylor may all be in Bourbonnais on Wednesday.
Players have the option of sticking around until Friday. Although there can be no on-field work, they can lift weights and participate in classroom work, although most of the above mentioned veterans will likely get their physicals, pick up their checks and return to Chicago before returning to camp on Friday.
