Bears bring in a pair of former second-rounders on tryout basis

The Bears are taking a look at a few extra players in minicamp this week, including one who coach John Fox knows quite well.

According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears are working out safety Sherrod Martin and running back Daniel Thomas this week during minicamp.

Martin was a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2009, when Fox was still coaching there. Martin spent last year with the Jaguars.

Thomas was a Dolphins second-rounder in 2011, who they initially cut last year but brought back when Knowshon Moreno was injured.
