Scruggs adjusting to other side of ball

Bears fourth-year pro Greg Scruggs woke up one morning in May as a defensive end and went to bed later that same day as a tight end.

The idea to switch positions was first presented to Scruggs when he was pulled out of the defensive line meeting room and summoned to defensive line coach Jay Rodgers' office.

"That's when they told me, 'We could use some help at the tight end position if you're willing to help, a bigger body guy who can block, a guy who can come off the ball and complement the guys we already have,'" Scruggs said.
