Bears camp: Chicago hosting several tryouts at QB, RB and WR

It’s been a busy day for the Chicago Bears. After completing their first day of padded practices, the team is working out several players.

It’s been a busy day for the Chicago Bears. After completing their first day of padded practices, the team is working out some offensive players at Halas Hall.

According to Chicago Tribune’s Brad Bigg, the Bears hosted several tryouts with quarterbacks Mason Fine, Kevin Hogan and Kyle Sloter, as well running back CJ Prosise and wide receivers Austin Proehl, Jeff Badet, Rodney Adams and Alex Wesley.

Fine, a two-time C-USA Player of the Year, impressed during his time at North Texas. He’s coming off a season where he played 12 games and threw for 2,820 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interception. His best season came in 2017, where he threw for 4,015 yards and 31 touchdowns.

Hogan, who hasn’t played since 2018, started eight games in two years with the Cleveland Browns. During that span, he completed 60 of 101 passes (59.4%) for 621 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions for a 34.5 quarterback rating. Not exactly encouraging stats.

Sloter, a three-year veteran, has impressed in the preseason. In three preseasons, Sloter has an 11-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has averaged a 74% completion percentage and a 119.8 quarterback rating with the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings.

In four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, former third-round pick Prosise has 65 rushes for 264 yards with a 4.7 yards-per-carry average and two touchdowns in 25 games. His best season came as a rookie in 2016, where he 30 rushes for 172 yards with one touchdown and 17 receptions for 208 yards.

Proehl, the son of Ricky Proehl, is a former teammate of current Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky at North Carolina. Wesley was originally on Chicago’s 90-man roster before they waived him to make room for the required 80-man squad. Badet signed as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2018. While he’s appeared in his share of preseason games, he hasn’t seen any regular-season action.

Adams, a former fifth-round pick by the Vikings, was reinstated by the NFL back in January. He was placed on the Reserve/Retired list on April 9, 2018. Adams spent time on Minnesota’s active roster and practice squad as a rookie but never saw game action.

Former Vikings’ draft pick Rodney Adams is back from retirement

Adams was the fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2017.

We haven’t heard much about Vikings 2017 fifth-round pick Rodney Adams lately.

Adams didn’t make the team’s final 53-man roster in 2017. After spending time on the team’s practice squad, he signed with the Colts in 2018 before he ultimately retired.

Earlier this week, Adams decided to come back from his retirement. He’ll be part of the Colts’ organization to begin his comeback efforts.

WR Rodney Adams reinstated to Colts roster by NFL

Rodney Adams joins the Colts roster.

The NFL reinstated wide receiver Rodney Adams to the Indianapolis Colts roster from the Reserve/Retired list, the team announced Wednesday.

Adams signed a futures contract with the Colts during the 2018 offseason but was placed on the retired list a few months later. It isn’t clear why he was placed on the retirement list in the first place, but it appears he’s back.

Adams was a fifth-round pick with the Minnesota Vikings in the 2017 NFL draft. He hasn’t appeared in any game action since being drafted and will likely be battling for a roster spot this offseason.

The Colts are pretty thin at wide receiver, a position they are likely to address heavily this offseason. But Adams will get his shot at working with the team during the spring practices and potentially the preseason.
