Pernell McPhee has already made plenty of news for the Chicago Bears and it is only the third day of Bears training camp.

On Friday the team announced the veteran linebacker underwent a scope of his injured knee:

John Fox reports that Pernell McPhee had a "cleanup" scope on his knee today. Will update on timeline for return as info becomes available. — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) July 28, 2017

McPhee was placed on the PUP list late Wednesday night after the team found an irregularity on his knee during his physical. McPhee missed the first six games of last season with a knee injury after he began the year on the PUP list.

Head coach John Fox did note the "cleanup" was different from the one cornerback Kyle Fuller underwent last year. Fuller had a scope in August and was unable to play during the 2016 season.

Luckily the Bears have depth at the linebacker position with Willie Young, Leonard Floyd, Lamarr Houston, Sam Acho and Dan Skuta, but another injury-filled offseason for McPhee is not a good look for Chicago's defense.
