After resting his knee most of last week, Bears tight end Brandon Manumaleuna is planning to return to practice today.
Manumaleuna re-injured his right knee, which he had offseason surgery, but he said the rest last week has him feeling much better.
"It's been frustrating," he said. "But you can't do nothing but deal with it."
Manumaleuna was signed on the first day of free agency, along with defensive end Julius Peppers and running back Chester Taylor. Manumaleuna, who received a five-year, $15 million contract that included $6 million in guarantees, played for new offensive coordinator Mike Martz in St. Louis.

Hey Sean I just heard the Bears are not going to allow their assistant coaches to speak to reporters after games. Is this true? That seems a little strange if it is. Hmmmm.
