I don’t know how I missed this, but on Wednesday the Bears brought back one of my favorite players from the preseason, NT Terry Williams, aka The Swamp Monster. I posted about Williams multiple times in the preseason: here, here, & here. The Bears also signed DE Greg Scruggs this week, who I will cover later in the post.
With the Bears transitioning to a 3-4 defense this season, few players on the roster who were a natural fit for the 3-4 nose tackle position, and a dominant performance by Williams in the Bears last preseason game (4 tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 QB hits)… I figured the Swamp Monster was a lock for the Bears final 53-man roster.
