Windy City Gridiron
The popular Colbert gets a round three in the Windy City.
The Chicago Bears were looking at some reinforcements for safety earlier today at Halas Hall as they worked out Adrian Colbert, Johnathan Abram, Terrell Edmunds, Jason Taylor, and Tracy Walker, according to the Tribune’s Brad Biggs.
Late this afternoon, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Bears were bringing Colbert back to the Navy and Orange.
With Jaquan Brisker on injured reserve and Elijah Hicks nursing an ankle injury, Colbert will provide some veteran depth at the position.
This will be Colbert’s third go-round with the Bears, and if you watched HBO’s Hard Knocks this summer, the 31-year-old’s battle to make the 53-man roster was prominently featured. Colbert called the Bears “ the favorite of all the places that I’ve been,” and that list includes nine other NFL teams. In one of the more viral moments from the show, Chicago general manager Ryan Poles had to take a moment to collect himself while telling Colbert that they were going to release him.
The Bears have yet to announce the signing, so once he’s officially added to the active roster or the practice squad, we’ll update accordingly.
