Bears OG Chilo Rachal Leaves Team For Personal Reasons After Being Benched

The Chicago Bears informed left guard Chilo Rachal he was being benched on Wednesday and the veteran didn’t take the news very well.

Rachal has been placed on the reserve/left team list and the club has signed undrafted rookie free agent James Brown from the practice squad to promote him to the 53-man roster.

Rachal, in his first year with the team, made eight starts at left guard. It is expected he will be replaced by veteran Chris Spencer, who started the first two games at the position. The Bears announced Rachal had left the team for personal reasons.

Wow kid had so much potential. Just never developed into the player teams thought he would be.

 

IF he really did leave the team for personal reasons, I hope everything is ok with him. Other then that, that left side of the offensive line better be Phil Emery's concentration in the offseason.
