Tackle Nate Chandler, who signed with the Bears June 3, spent the entire 2015 campaign on injured reserve with the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury.
"It was pretty hard," Chandler said. "But I try not to sulk or get down on myself because I knew there would be another opportunity for me, no matter where it would be. Fortunate enough, I'm here and I'm glad to be here."
Coming off his injury, Chandler is thankful that the Bears made a commitment to him.
"It just shows me that they believe in me," he said.
