Fully healthy after three injury marred seasons, there are times when Kyle Long feels like a new man.
“Sometimes when I do stuff physically now, people kind of look at me like a guy who came back from the dead — like, where has this guy been?’ And that’s nice,” Long said Wednesday after the Bears’ offseason practice at Halas Hall. “I’d like to do it for a long time and be able to help my team any way I can.”
It remains to be seen if Long, who turned 30 last December, can regain his Pro Bowl form — or if he can just get through a 16-game NFL season without another mishap.
