Safety Jaquan Brisker hosts youth football camp just before Chicago Bears training camp

CBS News22-07-2025
Chicago Bears veterans report to Halas Hall on Tuesday ahead of the first training camp practice under new head coach Ben Johnson a day later.
On Monday, safety Jaquan Brisker spent his final day of freedom on some familiar turf. He spent quality time with kids as he hosted his second annual youth football camp in Chicago at the University of Chicago Charter School Woodlawn Campus.
"The youth is our future — especially here in Chicago and [my hometown] Pittsburgh, it's so important just to, you know, let them match the face with the player and things like that," Brisker said. "I never got the opportunity, so I want them to have the opportunity to see me and meet me and things like that — and give them as much knowledge as I can."
The Bears' first training camp under Coach Johnson will be an important one for Brisker entering the final year of his rookie deal. It is a year Brisker looks forward to starting healthy, while learning a Dennis Allen defense.
"I'm very excited to get on working with Coach Allen. I know he's going to use me in a lot of different areas, which I love," Brisker said. I love playing, being a Swiss Army knife."
As for a Fellow defensive back Jaylon Johnson being on the non-football injury list, Brisker is not too concerned about the veteran leader's status at the start of camp.
"The crazy thing is I just saw that. Me and Jaylon have been training together in Vegas — a lot of Chicago players out there — and we were working. We were working very hard," Brisker said. "So I think he'll be fine. I'm not really worried. I know Jaylon."

Luis Diaz arrives in Munich ahead of Bayern transfer

Luis Diaz (29) has arrived in Munich ahead of his proposed move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich. The Colombian attacker was spotted by Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau, who added that despite a near 14-hour journey from Tokyo, Diaz will undergo his medical and contract signing with the Rekordmeister later today. This comes after Bayern Munich reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Diaz for a reported €75m (£65.5m). After signing a four-year contract, the 29-year-old will earn an annual salary of €14m. Bayern Munich went into the transfer window with signing a left-sided attacker a priority and after missing out on several targets such as Bradley Barcola, Cody Gakpo and Rafael Leao, settled on Liverpool's Diaz who played 148 games across all competitions under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists following his €49m transfer from Porto in January 2022.
