What's going to be interesting for the Bears to determine is what kind of workload McPhee can handle. They hesitated to take him off the field at some points early in the season. Through the first eight games, he was on the field for 81.4 percent of the snaps. He missed two of the final eight games and played in only 47 percent of the snaps in the six games he did appear in as he gutted it out down the stretch.
