Another day at Chicago Bears camp and another injury this time it’s a season ending injury. Kelvin Hayden tore his hamstring today at camp and will be out for the rest of the season.

This is a pretty big loss for the Bears secondary with Hayden having taken ownership of the nickel position.
It looks like it is a contest between veteran Zack Bowman and 2012 6th round draft pick Isaiah Frey to fill the void left after the Hayden injury for the nickel position. This is a really big opportunity for Frey who will see action and for sure get tested when the pre-season schedule gets kicked off Friday night in Charlotte.
Isaiah Frey clearly feels bad for Kelvin Hayden in disccusing situation by wnd year CB knows he has big opportunity ahead of him
