Bears LB Sam Acho Reveals He Had Mono

Chicago Bears LB Sam Acho had been sidelined for nearly three weeks, but the latest Bears news is that he's finally revealed what plagued him.

Acho announced he'd been battling Mono, according to the Chicago Tribune. 

"I just wasn’t feeling well," Acho told the Tribune. "So we’re going through training camp and two-a-days, and I remember, you know, you fight through it. You’re tough. It’s training camp. But I just wasn’t myself. I didn’t know what was going on. I just wasn’t feeling well. So I ended up going to see the doctor. Long story short, they found out that I had mono.”

Acho should take over as a backup LB in the Bears' 3-4 scheme.
