Veteran NFL linebacker and former Notre Dame star Manti Te’o could play for the Bears on Monday against the Rams.
The Bears signed him to their practice squad Tuesday, indicating he triumphed over Deonne Bucannon and Justin Phillips when the team had all three in for tryouts last week.
Te’o, 29, has not been on a roster this season. He played three games for the Saints last season, getting 34 snaps. The last time he was a regular starter was 2017, when he had 62 tackles and three pass breakups.
The Chargers drafted Te’o in the second round at No.
