Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney. Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Several key members of the Chicago Bears were pictured working out together during the long Fourth of July weekend. Fans immediately noticed Darnell Mooney looks…swoll.

Mooney missed practices during spring OTAs as he rehabs from a fractured ankle he sustained last season. Mooney was expected to be back in time for training camp later in July. He was seen running routes recently with several Bears offensive starters.

Justin Fields, Cole Kmet and D.J. Moore joined Mooney at Maine South High School to get a workout in on their off day.

One projected starter missing in the picture is Chase Claypool. Claypool is trying to heal from a soft tissue injury before training camp. Claypool, like Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, has been spotted modeling during the summer break.
