Possible Addition To Bears Stable of Olinemen.................
Bears give tryout to ex-Irish lineman Black
By Brad Biggs, Tribune reporter 12:47 p.m. CST, November 16, 2011
As expected, the Chicago Bears’ search for an offensive lineman continued into Wednesday as the team worked out Jordan Black at Halas Hall.
Black, a former Notre Dame standout, has a history with offensive line coach Mike Tice. When Tice was the tight ends coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Black was a starting offensive tackle there.
A fifth-round draft pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2003, Black also has spent time with the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints. The 31-year-old lineman played in 15 games last season for the Jaguars and made nine starts. He’s appeared in 80 games and made 40 career starts.
The Bears may sign Black on Monday, an NFL source said. It’s late in the week for him to get up to speed. That means the club could promote one of three linemen on the practice squad before Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers at Soldier Field. The candidates are Levi Horn, Ricky Henry and Reggie Stephens.
The Bears put three other veterans through a tryout Tuesday. The Tribune reported Mansfield Wrotto, Renardo Foster and Mike Gibson had workouts. Those players were informed they would not be signed.

From other things I've read it sounds as if the Bears will sign Black on Monday to fill the need for an experienced backup OT and that Levi Horn is being promoted from the PS. Oh please God tell me this is the end of the line for OMG, please!

So never another down will he play.
Amen 
And God Bless Walter Payton and Papa Bear Halas too.
