The Bears have filled one of the spots on their practice squad by signing linebacker Marcus Riley, the WAC defensive player of the year last season at Fresno State.

The club is seeking help on special teams and can give him a look on the practice squad but it remains to be seen what kind of football shape he is in. The Bears showed interest in him following the draft but he signed a deal with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent. He was released in July and then spent the preseason with St. Louis.
