Bears Rookie Minicamp is Lockout Casualty

The draft helped us  forget about the NFL lockout, if only for a few days.  Now it’s back to business as usual, or lack of business as the case may be.

In the fleeting moments when the lockout was lifted, before a stay of the injunction was granted, the Bears had a rookie minicamp scheduled for May 6-8, which ended up being a casualty of the lockout.  Instead of getting to recap how Gabe Carimi, Stephen Paea and the rest of the rookies looked in shorts and shells this past weekend, we don’t have anything to discuss.

In the meantime, the Bears’ rookies will have to wait along with the veterans and the rest of us for the lockout to be lifted to get it going.
