PrintToday also happened to be the day players can be signed to the practice squad, and the Bears wasted no time in that. Seven of the eight spots on the practice squad have been filled with players they waived with one more reportedly filled by a Notre Dame running back... from the Buccaneers. Follow me past the jump and let's look at the Bears' practice squad...
WR Kris Adams
OT Levi Horn
OG Ricky Henry
TE Andre Smith
DT Jordan Miller
LB Patrick Trahan
S Anthony Walters [Link to Seven]
And according to Sean Jensen's Twitter, RB Armando Allen.
That's a pretty solid set to me. Kris Adams performed pretty well in preseason this year and being able to hold on to him is a Good Thing (TM). A bit surprised it's Allen instead of Robert Hughes, but then again, it's only a practice squad spot.
Anybody you would have rather seen on the practice squad?

Kris Adams is a good prospect
Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that

Yes he is.
And he’ll be the guy we all pine over every preseason.

Ricky Henry
He will be a starter eventually… Kid is the real deal and plays with a mean streak… IMO he is much better than Louis…. Can’t believe Hughes didn’t make the PS…
Did Linenkohol (sp) go somewhere else?

I didn't see anything pop up regarding if he landed on a squad anywhere.

He's on the Left Camp/DNR list.
He doesn’t count towards the 53.

as he’s been on the Reserve/Left Team list.

Anyone I would've rather had on PS?
Yeah, Robert Hughes. He made the practice squaders from the Browns look like high school kids. He was smooth and strong and ran with both quickness and power. Dont know why they went with Armando Allen unless Hughes turned them down.
Just me?
I think a young Levi Horn has shown a lot of promise in the past two years and might be an up and comer.
Frankie O, A/K/A “Gate 78” is only on the 53 because the bears paid so much to aquire him and tried so hard to develope him that it would be another embaressment to dump him.
pbanachi
I don’t agree with you on why they kept him, they obviously have no problem throwing away money, just look at… Manu, Taylor, Pace, R. Williams, damn near every first and second round draft pick since JA has been here

They kept Gate 68 because as a swing/backup tackle he's fine.
You just don’t want him starting.

Practice squad
LineBacker Trevor Baptiste. Was he picked up by another team??
A bit surprised not to see Hughes...
but this is a developmental squad to add emergency depth, so I guess it’s OK. Still, I liked his effort and skill set. He’s a Barber type, so having him close would be nice when Barber eventually gets hurt; and he will.

Robert Hughes will never be anything more than a 3rd or 4th string back.

Way to crush his hopes coach.
Above all; keep 'em guessing, never let them lose their sense of confusion.
BUT BUT BUT
HE’S THE NEXT ADRIAN PETERSON
HOW DARE YOU BESMIRCH THE ROBERT HUGHES.
