The Bears had little choice but part ways with defensive lineman Ray McDonald yesterday, for reasons that had nothing to do with football.
But they also have a football problem to solve now.
McDonald was penciled into the starting lineup of the 3-4 defense which new coordinator Vic Fangio’s installing, and now with the draft over and the bulk of free agency finished, they have to find another.
According to John Mullin of CSNChicago.com, the two most likely on-roster options are veteran Jeremiah Ratliff and Ego Ferguson.
