Cole (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. After being limited at practice by a hamstring issue Wednesday, Cole is now apparently back to full strength. It will be interesting to see what share of the snaps he earns at linebacker in Week 2 after 23-year-old starter Jack Sanborn struggled a bit to find his footing in Week 1.

Cole signed with the Bears on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Cole will join his third NFL team for the 2023 season after previously playing for Houston and Tennessee. The 28-year-old appeared in 15 games last year for the Titans, making eight starts and recording a career-high 64 tackles (42 solo), a sack and a pass defended. Looking ahead, he'll likely chip in on special teams while contributing as a rotational player in the Bears' linebacker corps.

Cole registered eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts. With Zach Cunningham (elbow) out, Cole notched season highs in defensive snaps (26) and tackles (eight). If Cunningham remains out for an extended period, Cole could emerge as a reliable IDP option moving forward.

Cole (back) worked out with the Eagles on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. Cole played six games last year and recorded six tackles (three solo). He's likely vying for a spot on special teams.

Cole (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. The 26-year-old was placed on the list last week for coming in close contact with the COVID-positive Jacob Martin, but he's now cleared the league's virus-related protocols. Cole should return to his role as a contributor on special teams for Houston.
