The AP’s NFL All-Pro team was revealed on Friday, and unsurprisingly, there were no Chicago Bears that made the first- or second-team.
Although, former Bears linebacker Roquan Smith was named to the All-Pro First Team as a member of the Ravens.
There was only one Bears player who received an All-Pro vote: long snapper Patrick Scales.
Scales, who’s been with Chicago since 2015, signed a one-year contract extension last offseason, and he’s set to hit free agency once again. We’ll see if GM Ryan Poles chooses to bring back Scales for 2023.
