Roquan Smith has finally arrived for his first NFL training camp.

The former Georgia linebacker ended his holdout on Tuesday when he signed his rookie contract with the Chicago Bears. Although Smith missed the first several weeks of camp, he doesn’t regret the situation.

“That’s just the business side of things, it is what it is and I’m just happy to be here now,” Smith told the media at Bears camp on Tuesday.

While his holdout was going on, Smith was in Athens, Ga., staying in shape. And while the situation wasn’t ideal, he said it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

“That was a bit different, but I texted those guys a good bit here and there, and also I had the playbook, so it wasn’t as bad, I could watch film and different things like that,” Smith said. “All I can do is come out and give my best every day and just prepare myself the best way I know how.”

Smith doesn’t have as much time as the rest of his teammates to get ready for the regular season, so it is uncertain if the former Bulldogs standout will play when the Bears open the year against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 9.

The Bears selected Smith with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Smith was the SEC Defensive Player in the year of 2017, also earning first-team All-SEC honors while helping lead Georgia to the SEC championship.
