Bears could be preparing for no Urlacher, sign LB DeCicco

The Chicago Bears might be preparing for life without Brian Urlacher on Sunday.
The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that the team signed linebacker Dom DeCicco to the 53-man roster, bringing back DeCicco three months after he was released with an injury settlement.
Urlacher suffered a right hamstring injury during overtime of the Bears' 23-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Bears coach Lovie Smith said during his Monday press conference that Urlacher had a pulled hamstring.
Though DeCicco played some middle linebacker when Urlacher was sidelined with a knee injury in training camp, he's unlikely to fill Urlacher's role if the veteran is forced to sit against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears finished Sunday's game with Nick Roach in the middle and Geno Hayes sliding into Roach's normal spot at strongside linebacker.
DeCicco could fill Hayes' role on special teams. DeCicco had groin surgery earlier in the season and worked out with several teams before returning to Chicago. The terms of his injury settlement dictated he could not return to the Bears until after Week 10.

That'll make it even harder for the Bears but I'm glad to see DeCicco back in Chicago. This kid has got potential and could become a decent linebacker in the right environment.

Urlacher might be done for thebyearb

That's the move I knew was coming since we cutted DeCicco. He was injured and only was cut because of this. No reason to keep him on the roster while he is inactive for sure. Now that he is good to go, he was signed back.
Our coaches trust him and like him. He could surprise

Doubt he will start, but glad to see him back.

In Preseason he looked good in coverage and really hustles to the ball.

Don't know much about this guy. But this team needs to start developing players, instead of relying on FA help.

So Dom is good? what position did he play in the Linebacker?

He's a solid STer and a decent backup at MLB or SLB.

Hope he has the scruples to be a stud MLB. I don't believe we have time to develop one at this moment. We immediate impact.

LOL, you might need to adjust your expectations back to reality. I like DD and he's a good depth player but that's about it for now.

That is one of the problems of this team. There are really no back ups that can challenge a starter.
