Bears | Mike Pennel joins Chicago Thu Jun 17, 07:27 PM
Free-agent DT Mike Pennel (Chiefs) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears Thursday, June 17. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Pennel is a run stuffer who could be needed if whatever is going on between the team and nose tackle Eddie Goldman. Goldman skipped minicamp after opting out last year and head coach Matt Nagy seemed frustrated with the situation when he was asked about it this week. |

Bears | Five players trying out Tue Jun 15, 08:39 PM
Free-agent CB E.J. Gaines (Bills), TE Jake Butt (Broncos) and DT Mike Pennel (Chiefs) are participating in the Chicago Bears minicamp this week on a tryout basis. Undrafted free-agent TE Sal Cannella (Auburn) and OT Tyrone Wheatley Jr. (Stony Brook) are also trying out for the team.
| Footballguys view: Butt was a talented tight end coming out of Michigan years ago but injuries have held him back as a pro. If healthy, Butt can give you plenty of value as a "Y" tight end and reserve player for the Bears. We'll see if he can make the team after this tryout. |

DT Derrick Nnadi (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 1, while RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) was upgraded to a limited session; both players are listed as questionable. LB Damien Wilson (knee) was limited in practice all week but no longer appears on the injury report. CB Charvarius Ward (hamstring), DT Mike Pennel (back) and DE Frank Clark (illness) practiced in full Friday and have also been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Patrick Mahomes will also sit for this game. Bell might play a limited amount, but the team is likely to use Darwin Thompson the most of any of their backs since Darrel Williams is currently the healthiest and most experienced back on the roster. |
