NFL Notes: Bears, Broncos, Cowboys, Packers, Texans

Bears

  • Michael C. Wright wouldn’t be surprised if the Bears moved on from LB Shea McClellin next year.
  • Wright doesn’t see veteran OLB Lance Briggs being back with the team either.

Broncos

Cowboys

  • QB Tony Romo (back) will participate in the Cowboys’ walkthrough on Saturday to gauge how he feels. (Ian Rapoport)
  • However, Rapoportย admits that the Cowboys may not know Romo’s status for Week 9 until Sunday.

Packers

  • Rob Demovsky writes that the Packers need to target upgrades at inside linebacker given that it’sย the “biggest problem his team faces right now.
  • According toย Demovsky,ย it’s a “very real possibility” that J.C. Tretter could see some work at guard once he returns from the short-termย injured reserve list.

Texans

โ€œObviously, I want to play and I hope to play, and the coaches want me to play. Thatโ€™s the plan. But thereโ€™s a lot of things that come into account and we have to make the best decision for everyone.

โ€œI love playing. I want to be out there. But at the same time I want to play at my best level and have a good rest of the year. Weโ€™ve got to figure out a formula for that to happen.โ€
