Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy said Sunday that he will be “smart” but agressive in getting Khalil Mack up to speed in time to play next Sunday night at the Green Bay Packers.
Nagy said Mack will practice on Monday and that the Bears are “going to do everything we can to get him to a point to where he can play.” Asked to clarify the likelihood of Mack playing in Week 1, Nagy answered, “hopefully pretty good.”
“We’ll get to see where he’s at mentally here after tonight, and then physically we’ll have a practice tomorrow and physically get an idea, and then we’ll just kind of have to listen to his feedback where he’s at. We told him, communication is imperative here. It’s not like being able to plug somebody in on a Madden game and just say, go sack the quarterback. There’s some planning that goes involved to it,” he said.
