The Bears activated third-round pick Kiran Amegadjie from the Non-Football Injury list Sunday, clearing the way for him to practice for the first time with the team.

The Hinsdale Central alum had surgery in October after hurting his quad while playing at Yale. The injury hurt his draft status, but he was chosen No. 75 overall after starting his last 24 games for the Bulldogs. He was a first-team All-American despite last year despite playing a shortened season.

Amegadjie is an intriguing prospect at tackle and could be, one day, a challenger to Braxton Jones on the left side.
