Bears linebacker John Timu spent the summer in training camp battling for his professional life before ultimately failing to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.
Timu, however, was signed to the practice squad the next day and ultimately promoted to the active roster after injuries sidelined Jerrell Freeman and Nick Kwiatkoski.
The uncertain job security is nothing new for Timu, who seemingly has always been on the proverbial roster bubble since entering the NFL with the Bears in 2015 as an undrafted free agent from Washington.
