Guys, love hearing the Metallica coming into this segment because the Bears are having a real practice today outdoors in the cold.

Sunshine, though, so that kind of quells some of the cold or takes some of the edge off, I would say.

But...

As I walked out there, full blast Metallica.

Seek and destroy being played on the Bears practice field today.

So I thought that was really nice.

The Bears will have a real injury report today.

Everything was just estimated yesterday.

We know that the headliner of that group yesterday was C.J.

Gardner-Johnson.

So we'll hopefully continue to get good full practice health reports from him.

I'm also going to get into the locker room a little bit later on.

But first...

The coordinators and Dennis Allen, the Bears defensive coordinator, who once was the head coach in New Orleans and in a game in 2023 against his Saints, Pukanukua had nine catches for 164 yards and a touchdown.

It's not always pleasant having to ask those kind of questions, but here's how it went down with Dennis Allen.

against your Saints back in 2023.

Thank you.

Yeah, sorry.

What do you remember about that game, if you'd like to, if the trauma's not too much?

And what are a couple of traits about him that stand out?
