It’s quite literally the return of the Mack. Well, not the Mack. But a Mack.
The Chicago Bears have signed outside linebacker Khalil Mack’s brother Ledarius Mack to the practice squad. The rookie outside linebacker signed as an undrafted free agent with the Bears earlier this offseason.

Ledarius spent the offseason and training camp with the Bears, but he was waived Sept. 5 as part of final cuts as the team finalized its 53-man roster. Ledarius, who joins the 16-man practice squad, replaced defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson, who the Bears released on Monday.
Ledarius’ big brother gave a scouting report of the younger Mack, referring to him as “explosive” during his time in camp.
“He’s jumping out on film,” Khalil said. “Very explosive, very explosive. You can tell that he’s talented. Things that [are] gonna affect that decision — it’s gonna come down to special teams. How he’ll be used out there, whatever that may be, but all in all, what I’ve seen, man, I’m proud of him.”
