Bears Looking For Depth, Re-sign Mike Hass

by Adam T on Oct 1, 2008 10:44 PM CDT

With the uncertainty of Brandon Lloyd's injury and now his back up Marty Booker missing practice, the Bears are getting all their guys back in house. The Bears have resigned Mike Hass to the practice squad.

The status of Brandon Lloyd's injured knee won't be known until today, but it can't be an enouraging sign that wide receiver Mike Hass was signed to the practice squad Tuesday. Hass was on the active roster last year after spending 2006 on the practice squad. He appeared in one game last season. He knows the system and will be able to practice, but presumably the evaluation on his long-term potential was made when he didn't make the team.

Obviously this is just a precaution and the Bears are not planning on bringing him up, but if anymore receivers get hurt and cannot go, having a guy who is familiar with the offense is a luxury.

Being a Homey

I live in Oregon and was fortunate to watch Mike Hass throughout is college career and I beg the Bears coaching staff to please, please put Mike in a game. I believe once in the line-up his play will not allow them to take him out of the line-up.

They still haven't called up Brandon Rideau though

That seems like a logical thing to do rather than sign someone else to the PS. Although I suppose with none of the active receivers on IR yet, it makes sense not to bring one up from the PS just yet.

Apparently nobody else wanted him.

That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement…

I'm not going to even bother trying to update this sig everyday anymore... that's what the standings column on ESPN is for.

obvioulsy

there is somethign that prevented them from putting bradley on the practice squad, i’ve never been caught on how all that works.

but in no world is hass better than bradley.

i believe...

… that they had to release Bradley before putting him on the practice squad. If no one would have signed Bradley, they could have attempted to sign him to the practice squad.

Practice squad

Actually, once a player has a full season (9+ games, officially) on the active roster, he’s no longer eligible for the practice squad. Bradley wasn’t eligible.
