Tight end: The Bears are ready to give Khari Lee more playing time.
The Bears’ belief in Lee was apparent when he was acquired from the Texans for a 2017 draft pick, even though he went undrafted last year.
Lee had only one catch for seven yards, but tight ends coach Frank Smith is eyeing a bigger role for him in his second season.
The Bears seem to be counting on him after Martellus Bennett was traded and a thin draft class deterred their attempts to replace him. Lee’s primary competition is Rob Housler and two undrafted rookies.
“Khari has done a good job from when we acquired him late in the preseason,” Smith said. “Primarily, he’s been able to show blocking, which came to him pretty quickly. But he’s really worked this offseason on route-running and receiving. He’s made some good development.”
