Why 8 weeks? Thought I read Freeman would be out for the whole year.Holding on for eight weeks... Meanwhile, Trevathan just got whacked in my league for his two-tackle dud. He lasted all of a second on the wire. The IDP gods were smiling on me today.
If Kwiatkowski becomes a 3 down player he could be a stud this year. He looked good in limited action to end the 16 season and looked good through preseason, too. Definitely worth the add in any league where he's not already stashed.Yikes. Wish Jelani had waited more than a minute to sign somewhere. Huge bump to Trevathan and Kwiatkowski.
I'm intrigued by Kwiatkowski, but admittedly don't know a ton about his game. How athletic is he? Was wondering if he was just a plug n' play downhill thumper type, or a LB that can be left in for 3 downs if needed. You think he will be more of a benefactor (tackle-wise) than Travathan?If Kwiatkowski becomes a 3 down player he could be a stud this year.

Agreed.I am certainly more interested in rostering Kwiatkowski than Trevathan wherever i don't already have shares in Kwiatkowski.
I wasn't able to watch his games, so "looked" is probably the wrong word choice. lol. I'm "looking" at stats, press, random clips. There are highlight reels of him that show an every down LB type, though. He can plug holes, get to the sidelines, and cover well enough and definitely looks like a kid with very good diagnostic ability on the field.I'm intrigued by Kwiatkowski, but admittedly don't know a ton about his game.

I don't see Trevathan's snaps going down because the team wants to see what they have in Kwiatkowski.Agreed.
The Bears know what they have in Trevathan, who isn't exactly a model of health himself.... and with the team likely to really struggle this year, they will want to see what Kwiatkowski has.
Sorry wasn't clear. The two are mutually exclusive.I don't see Trevathan's snaps going down because the team wants to see what they have in Kwiatkowski.
If Trevathan is healthy, have to figure he plays a TON.
Nothing I have read suggests his season is over or that he was placed on "season-ending" IR. As of this year, teams are allowed to bring back two players (instead of just one) during the season who had been placed on IR. Unlike previous years, the the player doesn't need to be designated to return either. I believe he has to spend eight weeks on IR to be eligible for return and I am holding out hope that's exactly how it will play out.Why 8 weeks? Thought I read Freeman would be out for the whole year.
Probably just sites (like ESPN) jumping the shark and listing him as out for the season when it doesn't seem like the designation has been fully defined yet. Seems likely it's a torn pectoral, though, so it's probably season ending.Nothing I have read suggests his season is over or that he was placed on "season-ending" IR.

For what it's worth John Fox said he has a torn pec today that requires surgery and that he's not sure if he'll be back this season. But yeah I agree with you guys, seems people are just going ahead and saying he's out for the year without really knowing.Probably just sites (like ESPN) jumping the shark and listing him as out for the season when it doesn't seem like the designation has been fully defined yet.

It's called PEDsNick Kwiatkoski injured his pec after having 4 solos in the first quarter. As a Bears fan you just can't make this #### up.
He's a FA again....Bills released him.Another missed chance for Jelani Jenkins
