Dolphins agreed to terms with OG Lance Louis, formerly of the Bears, on a one-year contract.
It's a strong signing for the free-spending Fins, and could indicate RG John Jerry's time in the starting lineup — or perhaps with the team — is through. Save for Brandon Moore, Louis was the top guard still on the market. Louis is recovering from a torn left ACL, but is expected to be ready for camp. With the interior line now set, Miami needs to figure out what it's going to do at tackle. Mar 27 - 5:46 PM

Free agent OG Lance Louis is visiting an unidentified team on Wednesday night.

The Bears have wanted Louis back, but he's one of the top young guards on the market with Andy Levitre gone to Nashville and Louis Vasquez in Denver. Best available guards, per Nick Mensio's rankings: 1) Brandon Moore 2) Louis 3) Willie Colon 4) Kevin Boothe 5) Eben Britton 6) Jake Scott 7) Geoff Schwartz.

Bears GM Phil Emery said he is pleased with free agent RG Lance Louis' progress off ACL surgery.

It's significantly easier for an interior lineman to regain full effectiveness off an ACL tear. Louis is expected to be ready for camp and could very well be back with the Bears. His agent is scheduled to sit down with Emery at the Combine.

CSN Chicago expects the Bears to "work hard" to re-sign impending free agent RG Lance Louis.

Louis has started 24 games over the last two seasons, but he tore his left ACL in late November. His recovery has recently been described as "on schedule." Louis is a solid pass blocker, but he gets pushed around easily in the run game. The two sides should be able to hammer out a deal.

Free agent RG Lance Louis' ACL surgery is progressing "on schedule."

Louis, 27, tore his left ACL in Week 12 and underwent surgery in December. Rotoworld's Nick Mensio ranks Louis fifth among guards in free agency, behind Andy Levitre, Donald Thomas, Brandon Moore, and Louis Vasquez.

Bears placed RG Lance Louis on injured reserve with a torn left ACL, ending his season.

Louis was injured on a blindside block from Vikings RE Jared Allen in Week 12. Like every Bears offensive lineman, Louis wasn't playing well, but his loss leaves the team spectacularly short up front. Recently benched RT Gabe Carimi took Louis' place Sunday. The Bears are probably wishing they hadn't placed subordinate LG Chilo Rachal on the reserve/non-football injury list right about now. Still only 27, Louis will be a free agent at season's end.

Bears RG Lance Louis is scheduled for a Monday MRI on his knee.

Chicago was so shorthanded on the O-Line in Sunday's win over Minnesota that RT Gabe Carimi was forced to right guard when Louis left. Carimi did indicate after the game that word in the locker room was Louis is going to be okay.

Lance Louis - G - Dolphins

The Bears will start Lance Louis at right tackle in place of Frank Omiyale in Sunday's game against Minnesota.

With Gabe Carimi (knee) out, Omiyale has started the last two games at right tackle. But due to atrocious play, he has been benched during the game both times. Now Louis takes over and Chris Spencer returns to right guard despite concerns over a hand injury. The Bears' pass protection can't get any worse.

Bears RG Lance Louis had his injured ankle in a protective boot following Sunday's win over the Falcons.

He is not expected to be active for the Bears' Week 2 visit to New Orleans. Chris Spencer replaced Louis at right guard yesterday, but it's possible Edwin Williams will draw the start in his place against the Saints.

Lance Louis - G - Dolphins

Bears RG Lance Louis is out for the remainder of Week 4 with a knee injury.

The Bears talked up Louis like a future star throughout training camp, but he got off to a miserably slow start -- particularly as a run blocker -- in the first three games. He was then burned on multiple occasions by Giants defensive tackles on Sunday night. After being benched in the first half for Edwin Williams, usual LG Roberto Garza is back in at right guard.

Bears G Lance Louis appears to be the favorite to win the starting job at right guard.

The second-year man has impressed the coaching staff with his power and athleticism thus far. Coach Lovie Smith says of Louis, "He can do all the things you’re looking for." Veteran Roberto Garza is expected to hold down the left guard position. Josh Beekman will begin the year on the bench.

Bears G Lance Louis is unlikely to face a suspension stemming from misdemeanor battery charges, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.

The incident occurred while Louis was at Arizona State, but the charges were filed after he signed with the Bears. Louis is subject to review under the personal conduct policy, but is probably just facing a fine.

Bears OG Lance Louis pleaded guilty Friday to misdemeanor battery charges that occurred during his time at Arizona State.

He pleaded not guilty to assault in October stemming from the same incident. A seventh-round pick last year, Louis was sentenced to three years of "informal" probation, a $565 fine, and 40 hours of community service.
