From what I hear Sanzenbacher is looking good, so it may be hard for JY to make the roster. Hopefully they keep him around on the PS...


The Bears should break camp with the following WRs:

Williams
Hester
Knox
Bennett
Hurd
Sanzenbacher

Roy Williams happy with Bears rookie
Chicago Bears rookie free agent Jimmy Young wasn't sure what to make of the text message congratulating him for not pulling a "Dez Bryant," but he quickly learned.

Roy Williams dishes on his departure from the Cowboys, signing with the Bears, and actually getting his pads carried this year.

Young, following the rookie tradition of carrying a veteran's shoulder pads after practice in training camp, carried the gear of former Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams after a recent session. Williams had asked Bryant to do the same last year in Cowboys camp, and Bryant's refusal generated several days of headlines.
