The Chicago Bears are reportedly interested in adding to their linebacker room ahead of their matchup with the Indianapolis Colts for their second preseason game. The player is a former NFC North rival of the Bears.
The Bears have a pretty solid linebacker group at this point, with T.J. Edwards, Jack Sanborn, and Tremaine Edmunds as their likely starters. (Noah Sewell, the Bears’ fifth-round pick, showed Saturday he’s capable of being a solid backup–if not a future starter, with Sanborn struggling against the Tennessee Titans.) However, Edmunds has missed several practices and the Bears’ preseason game due to injury.
The Bears are still looking to add to the position before the regular season starts.

Darkangelo was signed by the Detroit Lions as a UDFA following the draft in April. They waived him in May. According to Illinois Football, Darkangelo was an All-Big Ten honorable mention during his time at Illinois.
Darkangelo recorded 71 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and recorded one fumble recovery in 2022.
