Chicago Bears TE Martellus Bennett, suspended from the team because of conduct detrimental to the team following a training camp fracas with CB Kyle Fuller last week, will return to the field Sunday as the team resumes practice in Bourbonnais.

Bennett was contrite when speaking to reporters at Olivet Nazarene University on Sunday, and expressed a desire to learn from the mistakes he made in his handling of the situation:
Bennett on the entire episode: "Everything in life is about learning lessons. You always learn from it, whether it’s good or bad.” — Mark Potash (@MarkPotash) August 10, 2014
With Zach Miller and Dante Rosario playing a critical role in the team's success in Friday's 34-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Bennett was happy with his teammates' success even in his absence:
