The Bears are preparing to be without rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner for at least a month, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

One of those mentors is Gervon Dexter Sr., who's entering his third season with the Bears, and the rookie has already caught Dexter's attention. Last month, Dexter shared his initial takeaways on Turner, having been impressed with the rookie's athleticism and he believes they can work and grow together.
