August 7, 201312 yr comment_123638 Reportedly needs surgery on his hamstring. Given our lack of depth at the CB position, this is a big blow. On the bright side, Frey apparently has been having a great training camp. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,0,324278.story Report
August 7, 201312 yr comment_123639 Hate to see any guy go down for the season. Hopefully Frey is ready to be the starting nickel. Our depth in the secondary isn't all that great. Report
August 7, 201312 yr comment_123640 I agree, this really hurts our depth where we were thin anyway. I believe Zach Bowman was listed as our top backup prior to Frey's ascent during camp. We know how Bowman watches plays. Is McManis ready to contribute as a CB? Haven't heard anything at all about him in camp. It's hard to know how significant this injury is but this could well be the end of Hayden's career. He found little interest in FA this past year and now having to recover from a significant hamstring injury at his age isn't going to make him better. Report
August 7, 201312 yr comment_123646 I wasn't a fan of Hayden anyway but will admit it hurts the depth at CB. Hopefully Freys success in training camp continues on into the regular season and the ol vets Peanut and Jennings stay healthy all year so we're not forced to see ample amounts of Bowman. Report
August 7, 201312 yr Author comment_123647 Another thing that would be huge would be Hardin developing. I haven't heard hide nor hare about him which probably means he isn't playing all that great. Report

Hopefully Freys success in training camp continues on into the regular season and the ol vets Peanut and Jennings stay healthy all year so we're not forced to see ample amounts of Bowman. Bowman is a perfectly competent nickle back, imo. The problem is, if one of Tillman/Jennings go down, Frey is the other starting corner so we will be hurting (unless he steps up and shows he can start...which would be sweet). Report

August 7, 201312 yr comment_123654 I expect to see us pick up a veteran CB either now or after rosters are cut before the season starts. I do not think we will put all our chips into the ante with a raw & unproven starter. Frey might kick butt but we still need more depth. Report
