Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (hip) did not participate in the team's first day of voluntary minicamp. 'It's one day at a time,' head coach Marc Trestman said. 'He said he's feeling better and we'll talk to trainers every day and when they say he's ready, he'll go.' Marshall is recovering from minor hip surgery following the 2012 regular season.

Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (hip) is excited to start the 2013 season healthy. Marshall had his hip scoped in January in order to have as much time as possible to get ready for 2013. 'The good thing about the procedure I got done and when I got it done is, I got it done at the start of the offseason, and when you're able to do something like that, you can take your time with it,' Marshall said. 'You can afford to be cautious. It's about working smarter, and I probably could have started weeks ago, but no rush. We don't play games until September. As long as I'm in top shape then, that's all that matters.'

Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall said he likes what he has seen so far from the team's offensive scheme under new head coach Marc Trestman. Marshall and TE Martellus Bennett convened at Marshall's home after receiving their new playbook on team-issued iPads. The two pulled different-colored pieces from board games, simulated some formations and plays, then quizzed one another. 'Oh, my gosh, I'm in love with it,' Marshall said. 'Martellus and I sat down and went through the formational stuff and started challenging each other. It was exciting to go through, and it's pretty cool to have a partner.' Marshall feels the scheme will spread the wealth around. 'It's so stimulating and it gets everyone involved, and that's exciting to me,' Marshall said. 'Because the better Alshon (Jeffery) is, the better I'll be. The better Earl (Bennett) is, the better Martellus will be. The better Martellus is, the better Matt Forte will be. And so on and so forth. It's just awesome.'
