The Bears have moved Hunter Hillenmeyer back to middle linebacker, according to an ESPN.com source.
Hillenmeyer played on the strong side in Week 7 as Nick Roach continued to man the middle. But Hillenmeyer, who missed the four weeks leading up to Week 7 with a rib injury, is a better fit in the middle at least from a mental perspective. He has the experience to make adjustments at the line. Roach shifts back to the strong side, which is probably a more natural spot for him even though he played fairly well during his stint inside. |
