The Bears have activated linebacker Pernell McPhee ahead of their Thursday night game in Green Bay.
McPhee had been on the team’s physically unable to perform list. He had missed the team’s offseason program and preseason while recovering from knee surgery, and the Bears kept him on PUP to start the regular season to give him extra time to heal.
McPhee, who’s probably the team’s best pass rusher, had six sacks and one interception last season, his first with the Bears.
Fullback Paul Lasike was waived to make room on the roster for McPhee.
