Bears bites; Camp day 18

CUTLER WATCH

Jay Cutler had a solid day of practice, unlike rookie Dan LeFevour, who tossed at least five interceptions. With backup Caleb Hanie sidelined with a shoulder injury, Cutler got plenty of reps Monday, and he completed some crowd-pleasing passes. His best was a deep shot down the right sideline to running back Chester Taylor, who got a step on linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa. Cutler hit Taylor in stride. Cutler also threaded passes in traffic to Greg Olsen and Devin Hester.

MINI-BITES

� Cornerback Corey Graham had three interceptions, and safety Chris Harris had an interception for the third consecutive day -- this one on a deflection.

� Linebacker Brian Iwuh had a strong day with two interceptions at practice. He has been sidelined for most of training camp with a knee injury.

� Six-foot-8 James Marten spent a significant chunk of practice with the starting offensive line at right guard (in place of Lance Louis).

� Defensive tackle Matt Toeaina got some snaps with the first-string defense, ahead of Anthony Adams.

� Receiver Juaquin Iglesias coughed up a fumble but made a tough catch a few plays later, bouncing off a defender and holding on to the ball.

� Linebacker Brian Urlacher nearly picked off a slant pass intended for receiver Devin Aromashodu.
