Before Alec Ogletree’s wife came back to the Chicago area last weekend with a bag full of his clothes from back home, the Bears linebacker was living out of a suitcase he brought a month ago for what he thought was a short family vacation. It didn’t contain cleats or workout clothes. He didn’t know he’d need them.
Ogletree, his wife Alexandra and their 5-year-old son flew to the Chicago area in early August to visit Bears outside linebacker Robert Quinn, his friend dating to their time together with the Rams, and his wife Christina, who was celebrating a birthday.
