June could be replacement for Briggs

CHICAGO -- Cato June’s arrival may coincide with the knee injury suffered by Lance Briggs in the 36-10 loss in Minnesota. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported June has signed with the Chicago Bears. If Briggs is going to be sidelined this week, or maybe for the remainder of the season, June seems like a logical candidate to contribute at weak-side linebacker. Jamar Williams filled in for the injured Briggs against the Vikings, and may also be in the mix if Briggs can’t go. June certainly knows a thing or two about playing in a cover-2 defense. The linebacker spent four seasons in Tony Dungy’s system in Indianapolis, then moved on to Tampa Bay for two seasons, before breaking his forearm in Houston during the 2009 preseason. June was a Pro Bowl selection in 2005.
