An article on espn.com reports that Tommy Harris, Defensive Tackle and Pro Bowler for the Bears, has returned to practice. Harris had been out of commission since December 2006 with a hamstring injury. He did not play a down for the Bears during the playoffs in last year’s Super Bowl run. After surgery to repair his torn left hamstring, Harris was finally cleared to practice again this week.
This must be music to the ears of everyone in the Chicago Bears family, from players to coaches to front office management to the diehard Bears fans. The Bears are especially thin at D tackle this year, with Tank Johnson suspended and two other tackles leaving for other teams. Harris could provide veteran leadership for a talented but untested corps of tackles who will be expected to step up this year. Having his back at 100% at the start of the season would be a huge help to the Bears.
