9. It will be interesting to see if the Bears decide to take a look at outside linebacker Pernell McPhee in the next two weeks or so to see what he can do. McPhee had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee at the outset of training camp. He's on the active physically unable to perform list and could potentially be moved to the reserve PUP list when the season starts but only if he does NOT practice. If the Bears activate McPhee from PUP to get a look at him, they'd have to move him to injured reserve if they wanted to give him more time to get his knee ready and clear up a roster spot. With two players allowed to return from IR during the season, a new rule change this year, that's probably possible. It's also possible McPhee's knee is better and he can give it a go. I'm curious to see if we see him in practice in the next week. There's really only one practice between the Titans game (Aug. 27) and Browns game (Aug. 31) so if the Bears want to get a peek at McPhee before roster cuts are due, they probably need to do it this coming week.
