Sam who?

Crazy many thought he would have to be our top pass rusher less than 2 months ago. Still sad to hear though...

 

[Colonel_Buendia]

that's a shame, he's a great dude and good vet backup

 

[modo]

acho is probably done with the bears.....he is expendable next season

 

[Chicago4Life]

im guessing irving becomes the next man up?

 

[Desperado34]

Bring back lamarr!

 

[HeHateMe]

im guessing irving becomes the next man up?

Fitts maybe?

 

[PrideisBears]

That sucks. I like that everyone on this defense can be disruptive

probably.....

I.Irving come on down. It should be him or Fitts but i'd rather see Irving.

I figured he had a torn pec when Nagy mentioned the injury yesterday as a pec. Sucks for Acho.

 

[iueyedoc]

Tough for him but still:

I will take "Injured rotational player that will least effect the Bears season for $600 Alex." or "Player I would least expect to find out he has had 60 snaps this season for $1000."

 

[WookieOnRitalin]

I tore my pec in May and it takes a few months to get back to right, but it will heal just fine.

Sam is a good dude, articulate, and a great teammate. Sucks for him. But next man up. Irving/Fitts will get plenty of burn now.

 

[Novak]

Well, there goes the SB hopes...

Sam Acho out for the year with torn pectoral.

Feel sorry for him. Wasted his time with crappy Bear teams and coaches, and now he is injured when the team finally turned the corner. Will be missed on special teams. Next man up. Either Irving or Fitts.

Sad to lose anyone to injury. Luckily the Bears have a lot of depth at OLB, Lynch will still be the #3 guy at OLB. Now, if one of the down linemen were to get injured or suspended (Hicks!) we have a lot less depth there.

Looks like the Vikings are looking at some DE/OLB's as well.

With Everson Griffen out indefinitely, the #Vikings today worked out some potential replacements, including Lamarr Houston and Robert Ayers, and are expected to sign Jonathan Wynn (who was with them in camp) to the practice squad, per sources.

I think it's Acho's special teams play that will miss him the most besides being a great locker room guy.

He's injured not banished. Just like Zach Miller, Acho will be around the team.
