LAKE FOREST, IL — The Chicago Bears activated G Terrence Metcalf to the 53-man roster, placed LB Darrell McClover on Injured Reserve, signed FB Jason Davis to the practice squad and terminated the practice squad contract of FB Jed Collins today. Metcalf was given a roster exemption last week and did not count toward the 53-man roster after returning from a four-game suspension. McClover appeared in 10 games for the Bears this season and ranks tied for second on the team with 14 special teams stops.
