The Chicago Bears wrapped their three-day mandatory minicamp last week. If you missed any of the action, take a look at our recap from Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3.

With the offseason program in the books, the Bears will now get some time off this summer before returning to Halas Hall for training camp in late July. There are going to be a number of important position battles to watch, as well as which players nab those final spots on the 53-man roster.

While there were plenty of players who made strong impressions during minicamp, the real test won’t begin until the pads come on in training camp.

Following the Bears’ offseason program, here’s a look at our updated 53-man roster projections heading into the summer:
