General Manager of the Bears Jerry Angelo Discusses Signing Darrell McClover

LM: Why did the Bears re-sign linebacker Darrell McClover rather than pursuing a more experienced veteran at the position after Hunter Hillenmeyer injured his rib against the Seahawks, and how close is injured strongside linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa to returning?
JA: We signed Darrell McClover for special teams purposes as what we did with Tim Shaw because Nick Roach and Jamar Williams got promoted as starters. Pisa will be back here shortly—if not this week then after our bye week against Atlanta. In the event that he and Hunter aren’t ready to go this week, then Jamar and Nick will be our starters. That would take them off special teams, so we needed a player to replace them in that area.
