CHICAGO — A little before 9 a.m. Wednesday, the Chicago Bears officially placed linebacker Roquan Smith on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, a somewhat peculiar roster move that came a day after general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus acknowledged Smith’s contract dismay and the possibility it could affect his availability during training camp.
Still, sticking to the script after Wednesday’s camp practice, Eberflus insisted something came up during Smith’s team physical Monday that led to his PUP designation. What specifically?
“I’m not going to talk about a bunch of injuries or this and that,” Eberflus said.
