Bears Lose Bowman, Add Holt

Although rookie cornerback Zack Bowman barely got to play in the NFL before being put on injured reserve, his brief time on the field was more than most rookies can ask for.  During last week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, Bowman grabbed a botched punt for a touchdown and also intercepted quarterback Gus Frerotte with less than a minute left in the game.  He had a biceps injury during the game, which led to him being put on injured reserve. His performance on special teams got him named the NFC Special Team Player of the Week. He is the first Bear to have such stats in his NFL debut since 1950.

To make up for losing Bowman, the Bears signed safety Terrence Holt.  Hold entered the NFL in 2003 when he was selected in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions. He tallied eight interceptions during the four seasons he was with the Lions. From there, he went to the Arizona Cardinals in 2007. Last season, he started every game and had 75 tackles but was released in February. See all of the lineup changes by getting your Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.com.
