Notes From Camp

The Bears are asking that Kevin Jones to drop 10 pounds while on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

The thinking is Jones will better be able to handle the the wear and tear of the job on his surgically repaired right knee if he's a little bit lighter. Jones had surgery to repair a torn ACL in January and is at least a decent bet to begin the season on PUP.

Mark Bradley is back practicing after having some work done on his knee. He has seen limping at times and is currently working next to Brandon Rideau as a third string receiver.

Chris Williams is still not practicing after suffering back spasms.

Rookie tackle Chris Williams remained out of pads again with soreness in his back. "Chris is getting better," coach Lovie Smith said, "and we need to get him out there."

Speaking of adding weight

Idonije is now over 300lbs… as the Bears asked him to bulk up to play DT.

Nice article on it here

He gained 40 pounds (working with Rusty Jones) — going from 265 to 305 pounds — and he still wears the same pants size.

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

addition by subtraction?

I’m guessing Jones is around 225-230 for the Bears to ask him to lose weight. Probably a good idea since he’ll be quicker and more likely to avoid injury.
