Which tight ends have stepped up

Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of email questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com.

The two reserve tight ends who have stood out in training camp to me are Tony Moeaki and converted defensive end Greg Scruggs. With Zach Miller sidelined due to a concussion, Moeaki has helped fill the void as a pass catcher, making several receptions, including a couple for touchdowns.
