My favorite undrafted free agent signing, Bryce Callahan, has proven he can contribute at the NFL level and now my 2nd favorite, John Timu, may be getting a chance to prove himself as well. This week the Bears released veteran DL Ziggy Hood and promoted ILB Timu from the practice squad.
You may remember Timu from the preseason when he was one of the stars of the Bears reserves unit with multiple big plays including a sack, tackle for loss, 2 pass defenses, and 2 interceptions (one of which was overturned by review).
Timu played very well in the preseason, showing the ability to stuff the run, pressure the QB, and make instinctive plays in coverage.
