Coming off the news that the Bears were kicking the tires of offensive lineman Jake Long, comes news that they signed someone else:
Former #Panthers OT Nate Chandler is signing with the #Bears, source said. They had also worked out Jake Long today for that spot.

Chandler is coming off of a knee injury suffered last season, on a knee that he had previously injured and had surgically repaired. Specifically, like this, from a Charlotte newspaper last spring:
Chandler, a fourth-year player with the Carolina Panthers, is recovering from knee and toe surgeries.
