NFC Notes: Bears, Buccaneers, Falcons, Seahawks

Bears

  • Bears coach John Fox announced Wednesday that rookie Mitch Trubisky will be the team’s No. 2 quarterback for Week 1’s opener.
  • Mike Glennon will be the team’s starting quarterback with Mark Sanchez operating as their No. 3 quarterback.

Buccaneers

The final episode of “Hard Knocks” aired Tuesday night, which showed some of the Buccaneers’ final roster cuts.

The Buccaneers were hoping to sign WR Bobo Wilson and fifth-round RB Jeremy McNichols to their practice squad after clearing waivers, but Wilson decided to return home to Miami even though HC Dirk Koetter had asked him to stay around.

โ€œAre you kidding me?โ€ Bucs GM Jason Licht said when he was informed that Wilson had left town, via Pro Football Talk.

Licht said that this โ€œmight be the last strawโ€ before adding: โ€œI want to make a rational decision here, and not a [knee-jerk decision].”

โ€œIโ€™m going to tell Bobo we want you on the practice squad; we want to work with you,โ€ Koetter said. โ€œBut if you donโ€™t change your attitude, you wonโ€™t make it anywhere. Iโ€™m going to tell him straight up: If he doesnโ€™t change, he doesnโ€™t have a chance. If he hesitates at all on coming back, then Iโ€™m going to say weโ€™ll take [Donteea Dye].โ€

As for McNichols, he told Koetter he wanted to be back with the team before deciding to join the 49ers’ practice squad.

โ€œMcNichols got his feelings hurt,โ€ Licht said. โ€œIf heโ€™s going to mope and complain about being taken out of the game when he just made one mistake. I mean, we donโ€™t want that kind of [expletive] anyway.โ€
