Antrel Rolle Blames Injuries on Field Conditions After Release from Chicago Bears

A day after the 2016 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears thought it was in their best interest to release veteran safety Antrel Rolle after just playing one season in the Windy City. Not long after having his ties severed with the franchise, Rolle didn’t hesitate in expressing his feelings about the Bears’ infamous field conditions at Soldier Field, as well as the fields at their practice facility in Halas Hall.

Rolle spoke with the New York Times and said that “the surfaces in Chicago are the worst I’ve ever seen.” The injuries that the 33-year-old sustained during the 2015 season can certainly back up his statement about the Bears’ playing surfaces.
