Charles Tillman, Chicago Bears’ cornerback is back on the field after a surgery in January that is needed to repair his shoulder from an injury that he got when they played against Philadelphia Eagles last September 28. He appeared for a practice last Wednesday for the first time. He feels good now and he already have that full strength on his shoulder now. At the practice on Wednesday, he lined up for the team’s first defense replacing Zach Bowman at the left cornerback position.
Tommie Harris, the defensive tackle says he will be back for the training. He had not been on practice for the OTAs but he joined the individual skills portion at a practice. During the last season, Harris missed two games because of the knee injury that he had, and with the three last seasons, he had been suffering problems with his hamstring and his knee. However, according to him, he felt better now and he is on a cruise trying to rest and enjoy the off season and he will be back for the training camp and wishes to help his teammates when the next NFL season would start. Harris wished to be with the team and be 100% ready when the training camp starts.
Chicago Bears also have other players who have missed the practice like their linebacker Brian Ularlacher but do not wish to discuss the absence of the player while Matt Forte had missed practice because of a hamstring injury. They also have added new players by hiring Juaquin Iglesias as a wide receiver and Jarron Gilbert for the defensive tackle in a four year contract but no financial terms were discussed.
Could this new team be at its very best in the coming season with Tillman and Harris back? Would they become stronger with the new players? This is an exciting team to look into next season of NFL.
