Chicago Bears rookie tight end Jesper Horsted gets his chance to see the field against the New York Giants as the preseason standout is active for Week 12.

He was promoted from the practice squad this week and gets the nod over Bradley Sowell. Adam Shaheen was ruled out of the game earlier in the week due to a foot injury.

Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan is also out for a seconnd-straight week with his elbow injury, and a spattering of other young players round out the rest of the inactive list.

Mitchell Trubisky was a full participant all week and was removed from the injury report on Friday after dealing with a hip injury suffered during last Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Giants, meanwhile, will be without their top tight end Evan Engram, who was unable to go despite a bye week off.

Bears Week 11 Inactives: David Montgomery active vs. Rams

The Bears released their inactives ahead of tonight’s game against the Rams, and rookie RB David Montgomery is ACTIVE.

The Chicago Bears (4-5) released their inactives ahead of tonight’s primetime showdown against the Los Angeles Rams (5-4), and it’s good news regarding rookie running back David Montgomery.

Montgomery is officially active against the Rams. He rolled his ankle during Wednesday’s practice, and he was a game-time decision heading into a do-or-die conference game.

Bradley Sowell is also active against Los Angeles with the Bears thin at the tight end position. Last season, Sowell scored Chicago’s only touchdown of the game on a play dubbed Santa’s Sleigh. Could we see part two tonight?

Tight ends Trey Burton (who was placed on injured reserve Saturday) and Adam Shaheen along with linebackers Danny Trevathan and Isaiah Irving had previously been ruled out against the Rams.

Bears sign TE Bradley Sowell, again, waive LB James Vaughters

In a shocking turn of events that will surprise no one, the Bears signed TE Bradley Sowell to the active roster and waived James Vaughters.

It’s about that time when the Chicago Bears re-sign tight end Bradley Sowell to the active roster.

The Bears waived linebacker James Vaughters on Monday and promoted Sowell from the practice squad. A move that you hope would indicate that linebacker Isaiah Irving will be good to go for Sunday, although it’s far from a guarantee.

Vaughters should clear waivers and be re-signed to the practice squad.

The question is: Will Sowell be on the 53-man roster for a rematch of last year’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, where Sowell caught his first and only touchdown pass in the 15-6 victory.

Given the Bears’ struggles at the tight end position, with Trey Burton and Adam Shaheen, it might not be as far fetched as one might think.

We’ll have to wait and see when the Bears head to Los Angeles to face the Rams on Sunday Night Football.
