The 2017 Pro Bowler did not take part in team drills during a lighter day at Halas Hall, and the team did not practice in pads.
It might have just been practice, but QB Justin Fields looked completely in sync with his new No. 1 receiving threat.
670 The Score's Chris Emma also gave his impressions of Justin Fields' connection with his receiving corps.
"Like the tough warrior he is, he is now awake, and his vitals are better," a spokesperson said in a statement.
Ngakoue had at least eight sacks in each of his seven NFL seasons. The Bears had a league-worst 20 sacks as a team all last season.
Ngakoue, a Pro Bowler in 2017, will look to bolster the Bears pass rush.
Lewis is entering his 18th season, tying Jason Witten and Tony Gonzalez for most seasons played by a tight end.
Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy praised Fields for staying focused, saying if he makes a mistake, he doesn't do it twice.
One of the players bringing the juice on defense was new linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, whose 6-foot-5 stature over the middle is already helping make the offense better.
Bears center Cody Whitehair says nobody is more excited to put the pads on for the first time than the offensive line.
