The Bear Woods watch continues in Argoland, a big-time linebacker who is as good as it gets when it comes to wrapping up ball carriers and bringing them to the ground.

It bears watching because the veteran provides that leadership presence on the field and inside the locker room, a calming voice whose attention to detail is second to none.

Woods is one of a handful of players coming off an injury setback that is slowly rounding into form, only his story from off-season back surgery took a rather strange twist.

Woods was set to make his return last week when B.C. came to town, but he literally tripped himself up that led to further discomfort.

It was during practice when Woods intercepted a ball.

He began to run and then suddenly tripped, causing pain in his hip and damage to his left wrist.

At Tuesday’s practice, Woods was running sideline to sideline, showing no ill effects of a left hand draped in a cast and a hip that kept him from playing last Saturday afternoon at BMO.
