Coach Matt Nagy’s first training camp ended Sunday with the work-in-progress sign still firmly affixed to the last-place Bears.

Second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky is enduring expected growing pains as he learns Nagy’s scheme. The overhauled group of pass catchers around Trubisky continues to work to master the details of alignments, option routes and timing with the quarterback.

And while the defensive secondary appears equipped to make a significant leap, there was a glaring void created by rookie linebacker Roquan Smith’s holdout.

All of that amounts to a collective growth process that simply changes its location for the rest of August. First, the Bears head to Englewood, Colo., for joint practices against the Broncos on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of Saturday’s exhibition. Then it’s back to Halas Hall for the final buildup to the Sept. 9 opener against the Packers in Green Bay.

“The No. 1 thing that we wanted to do coming out of this camp was come together with physical practices, but yet be smart in the way we do it,” Nagy said. “Become better as a team than we were in OTAs when you couldn’t put the pads on. Now they put the pads on. We as coaches get to see who the tough guys are and (which) guys aren’t tough. And then how do we respond to adversity is always the biggest thing.”

As the Bears reset, we hand out our annual training camp awards.

Camper of the year: Prince Amukamara

Before the veteran cornerback strained his groin Aug. 6, his form indicated he’s not joking about his goal of 10 interceptions this season. He had at least a half-dozen picks in the 13 practices in which he participated. Amukamara always knows how the down, distance and game situation affect the route he’s covering, and his patience and fluidity in man coverage stand out.

Happiest camper: Kyle Fuller

Fuller received our endangered veteran award last summer, and the Bears proceeded to shop him on the trade market throughout the preseason. He went on to break up 22 passes, play 96 percent of the defensive snaps and re-sign on a four-year, $56 million deal from which he’ll pocket $20 million this year. This summer he has covered well, tackled well and been a leader in a secondary that collectively has shined.

Head counselor: Matt Nagy

The first-time head coach got his team through Bourbonnais without a single season-ending injury. That’s a success. He encouraged Trubisky to test himself on a variety of throws to figure out which plays the offense should highlight in the regular season. That strategy began to pay off at the end of camp when there was a noticeable uptick in Trubisky’s accuracy and anticipation.

Counselor in training: Mitch Trubisky

The second-year quarterback was uneven throughout camp as he wrestled with Nagy’s scheme. Trubisky averaged about two interceptions per day through the first 10 practices, mixing misfires with flashes of why the Bears believe in him enough to have constructed their new coaching staff around him. Trubisky is a respected team leader, and his athleticism stands out. But the season depends on how well he commands the scheme.

Best offensive player: Charles Leno

The veteran left tackle quietly had a stellar camp, continuing to validate the Bears’ decision last year to extend his contract through 2021 with a team-friendly guarantee of $21.5 million. Leno was consistent in his pass sets, which he varied to keep rushers like Leonard Floyd guessing. Reliable protection for Trubisky’s blind side would go a long way toward ensuring the quarterback continues to develop.

Scariest story: Roquan Smith

Smith’s holdout dominated the public conversation and diverted attention from the positivity surrounding Nagy’s arrival, Trubisky’s development and the new pass catchers. rooted in an unlikely hypothetical scenario: Smith getting suspended for an on-field rules violation outside the parameters of a football play. The first-round rookie and the Bears were finalizing details of a contract Monday, according to a source. But the inside linebacker missed valuable practice time, which will jeopardize his effectiveness early in the regular season.

Latest bloomer: Leonard Floyd

Floyd started camp slowly as he continued to recover from surgery in November to repair PCL and MCL sprains in his right knee. Once the calendar flipped to August, though, Floyd’s speed and explosive burst returned in pass-rush drills. That has reassured coaches and management, given the Bears’ lack of depth at edge rusher. Worth noting: Floyd did not miss a practice.

Endangered veteran: Aaron Lynch

On the flip side of the edge-rusher discussion is Lynch, who missed all but the first practice because of a hamstring injury. It’s his third stint on the sideline because of injury since mid-April and it doesn’t bode well for his hopes of resuscitating his career after a fallout with the 49ers coaching staff last year. Lynch hasn’t done anything to earn a roster spot.

Busiest camper: Tarik Cohen

It’s not accurate to list Cohen as a running back anymore. He requires a slash, as in running back/wide receiver. Nagy has Cohen lining up everywhere to maximize his speed, agility and explosiveness with the ball in his hands. Cohen has welcomed the challenge of learning multiple positions and has done well retaining the details required of each. He’s the Bears’ most dynamic player.
