The CAI CommunityNFL is back — kind of.

The return of the HBO series "Hard Knocks" that takes an in-depth and exclusive look into the training camp of a specific team is making its season debut Tuesday, with the Chicago Bears being the focus. This is not to be confused with the multiple other "Hard Knocks" campaigns HBO and the NFL have launched, including the offseason one focused on the New York Giants or the in-season one that will focus on the AFC North.

The Bears are entering what could be a breakout season, after they went 7-10 last season, missing out on the playoffs.
