The Bears practice squad will include Juaquin Iglesias, the team’s third round pick in 2009. For now, it doesn’t include another failed ’09 pick, defensive end Jarron Gilbert.
An earlier version of this post passed along a report from Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune that the Jets claimed Gilbert off waivers. The team did put a claim on him, but Gilbert is a free agent because the Jets put a higher priority on Marcus Henry, who they landed from Dallas.
While Gilbert decides what he wants to do next, here’s a look at the Bears practice squad: wide receivers Juaquin Iglesias and Greg Mathews, fullback Eddie
Williams, center/guard Edwin Williams, tackles James Marten and Levi
Horn and defensive end Barry Turner.
Marcus Henry? I thought the Jets picked up DE Marcus Dixon….ooooh, Rosenthal wrote this article… and didn’t bother to check his facts… I’m sure that’s never happened before.
I think you meant Marcus Dixon off the Cowboys practice squad, still not bad reporting for a 12-year old
I thought Gilbert was a DT?
I’m glad they got Iglesias to the PC, he’s got good physical skill. Another guy to look out for is Barry Turner; he looked good during mop-up time in the preseason.
