Johnny Knox continued to be a favorite target, but Cutler also threw the ball to Devin Hester eight times Sunday. Hester caught five of the passes. He had no chance at one of them, a deep ball over the middle that was overthrown. Zack Bowman picked off the pass.

The 6-2, 201-pounder flashed his big-play ability twice in team drills Sunday, Chris Williams hauling in deep Jay Cutler passes while angling toward the left corner of the end zone and also down the seam.
Aromashodu made plays just like those during the final quarter of last season, when his 22 catches and four TDs were topped only by Colts tight end Dallas Clark (23 catches and 5 TDs) among NFL receivers.
"It gave me a lot of confidence," Aromashodu said about last year's emergence. "I'm sure it gave the quarterback and the [coaching] staff a lot of confidence in me. It helped me a lot."
Aromashodu has been working in training camp as the third receiver behind Devin Hester and Johnny Knox. Regardless of who starts this season, all three of those wideouts are expected to be major contributors in coordinator Mike Martz's offense.
"I want to be a starter; everyone wants to start," Aromashodu said. "But if it doesn't work out like that, as long as I get the opportunity to play, that's the main thing."
Welcome back: On the first warm day of training camp—the temperature reached 87 degrees Sunday—middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, center Olin Kreutz and cornerback Tim Jennings returned to practice after sitting out Saturday night's workout. Safety Chris Harris (back) remained sidelined.
"I feel like this was the first day of training camp with a little bit of weather," said coach Lovie Smith. "The heat kind of cooperated a little bit with us. "It was good to get some of our players back, good to get Olin and Brian back out on the football field. I thought Brian Urlacher practiced today as well as he's practiced in a while."
Jennings intercepted a Caleb Hanie pass while defending a double move by Juaquin Iglesias in a 1-on-1 drill and later broke up a slant pass intended for Rashied Davis in 7-on-7 drills. Jennings remained on the field for 20 minutes after practice to run and work with fellow cornerback Charles Tillman.
Passing fancy: Cutler looked sharp in team drills Sunday, completing 9 of 12 passes in 7-on-7 drills and 15 of 18 throws in 11-on-11 work. He rifled deep outs to Knox and Earl Bennett and a deep slant to Hester. Knox caught the most passes from Cutler with seven, followed by Hester with five.
Too early: During an inside run drill early in practice, the offense jumped before the snap on five plays. Right tackle Frank Omiyale was replaced by James Marten after committing two false starts.
