It’s been a wild week for tight end J.P. Holtz.
He made his NFL debut Sunday, got waived by the Redskins on Tuesday, was on the verge of signing back with them as a practice squad player Wednesday, but got claimed and was in the Bears’ locker room Thursday morning.
“It’s been crazy, to say the least,” Holtz said. “But I’m happy I got the call to come to Chicago and I couldn’t be happier to be here. I’m gonna put my head down and work.”
Holtz celebrated his son’s first birthday Wednesday in Washington, then his agent called with news that he’d be joining the Bears.
