The Bears’ top cornerback, Charles Tillman will be sidelined four-to-10 weeks as he continues to recover from back surgery.
This means he’ll miss all of training camp and most of the preseason.
Tillman is only 28 years old, but it seems like every season he deals with injuries.
What does this mean for the secondary?
Well it means Nathan Vasher will have to return to his pro bowl form and Corey Graham will move back to cornerback spot after getting a shot at free safety.
The Bears should be concerned about the situation there in at corner right now.
Here’s the cornerbacks on the roster:
Starters:
Nathan Vasher, Corey Graham, Danieal Manning (NB)
Reserves:
Zack Bowman, D.J. Moore, Trumaine McBride and Marcus Hamilton.
I don’t think that it’s enough, but I really like Corey Graham and Zack Bowman.
Hopefully Charles Tillman plays in week one against Green Bay.
Lets hope for a speedy recovery.
