Colston Loveland Limited in Rookie Minicamp

Bears TE Colston Loveland hasn’t been a full participant in May minicamp. The rookie underwent right shoulder surgery back on January 29.

What They're Saying

Here's new HC Ben Johnson (via Sports Illustrated) on Loveland's outlook:

“A priority for us is getting him back healthy because the sooner he gets healthy, then we get the full-speed reps and that’s where it really all comes together,” Johnson said. “It’s more mental and we’re going to take full opportunity with the time we have with him, call it six weeks in terms of getting him up to speed with not only what the veterans know mentally but how much can we walk through with him on the side to speed up the learning process.”

Here's Loveland on what he's been able to accomplish despite the injury:

“I’m working out; I’m running,” Loveland said. “I’m doing everything except like the weight is not as heavy, obviously. We’re taking that day by day. Stacking bricks and getting better.”

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Loveland's absence doesn't come as a huge surprise. Recall that he didn't test at the NFL Combine or Michigan's Pro Day.

We'll see how big of a role he can carve out when healthy this summer. But for now, the rookie isn't a value pick with a TE12 Underdog ADP.
