27 Sherrick McManis DB

McManis inked a two-year deal with the Bears on Thursday, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis has spent the past six seasons in Chicago, cementing himself as a special team's ace. Last season he led the Bears with 269 snaps on special teams, despite missing three games. In addition to tying a team-high 12 special teams tackle last season, he also blocked a field goal and recovered a fumble.

McManis tallied 13 stops and recovered a fumble in his eighth NFL season.

McManis played 31 defensive snaps, and he's had more than 45 just once during his eight-year career. Since he's primarily a special-teams player who doesn't return kicks, he carries very little value as an IDP as he enters unrestricted free agency.

McManis (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis was back in action Thursday and it appears he'll be ready to go for Sunday's showdown with the Lions -- barring any major setbacks. The cornerback has missed the past three contests because of the hamstring ailment, so his return Sunday could go a long way in shoring up the Bears' secondary.

McManis (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

McManis will miss his third straight game after first injuring his hamstring Oct. 15 against the Ravens. The defensive back didn't practice in any capacity this week with the Bears coming off a bye, suggesting he could be at risk of missing additional time beyond Sunday.

McManis (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

McManis has missed two straight games since suffering the injury against the Ravens in Week 6 and didn't practice this week, despite also having the Bears' bye week to rest. The 29-year-old has mostly been a special teams contributor and isn't worth fantasy consideration at this point.
