I watched the replay on NFLN, and before the 1 catch, he was targeted on a play where he drew a pass interference call. I think those were the only two targets, but a catch and a penalty on the defense are a way to get some attention in limited playing time. The announcers raved about his catch as it was a deep jump ball and he actually used his body to go up and get it. The Bears seem like they're set, at least at their top 4, at WR but Summers may have a real shot at their practice squad.

NotAJerry wrote:Summers also had a fumble on a play where he wasn't protecting the ball well running through traffic.Yeah, that was pretty bad. After taking a look at the Bears message board, they seem to think that he will be an easy cut following his performance in the game last night. Bummer.

Brown is battling for the last WR spot. I think the practice squad is his best bet. I don't know where Summers goes at this point. I guess he's got an agent working on that. I think that fumble hurt.Yep. I did a lot of reading on several of the Bears message boards and just about everyone was really pulling for him based on his size. The prevailing thought after that game was that if he had pulled down the TD pass and hadn't fumbled on that nice run after the catch, he'd be on the team. All of that time he put in and it comes down to 2 plays. Bummer.
