The Bears have also placed rookie Dan Bazuin and Quadtrine Hill on injured reserve.

That was probably to be expected
I do wonder about Brandon Rideau.  Was he so injured that they did not want to sign him.  He was talked about as making the roster until he got hurt.

Good for Ball...
that guy has great hands, maybe with time he could be a pretty good receiver.

Olsen
Has anyone heard anything definitive about Olsen yet?
