7. Cornelius Washington sat out the game and didn't practice this week after being carted off the field a week ago with what coach John Fox labeled a knee/ankle injury. The good news is it's nothing serious for Washington and he will probably be back soon. Whether that's this coming week, I couldn't say. I do know this: Washington created a buzz among scouts who went through tape of the loss to the Broncos. He played well and my instincts tell me the Bears know it as much as the other teams. Barring something unforeseen, I see Washington not only making the roster but he could potentially challenge for time in the rotation at defensive end. He's always been a freak athletically. The light came on for him on special teams in 2014 and it looks like he's figuring out the defense now. I think Washington could be ahead of Will Sutton and Ego Ferguson as well and I know Washington has to really intrigue special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers. He's got to get healed up and then stay healthy. Availability is paramount, especially for players that overall are unproven.
