Bears' Marqui Christian: Handed two-game suspension
Christian was issued a two-game suspension Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Christian is on the reserve/suspended list, so he won't count against the Bears' 53-man roster.

Rams' Marqui Christian: Tallies 36 tackles in 2019
Christian recorded 36 tackles and two pass breakups over 16 games in 2019.
Christian's playing time on defense was sporadic, but he logged a 40-percent snap share or higher on six different occasions. The fourth-year safety will be an unrestricted free agent in March. If he sticks with the Rams, he likely won't have many chances to climb the depth chart if Eric Weddle (shoulder/knee) returns in 2020.

Rams' Marqui Christian: Performing well at practice
Christian stood out in the team's first full-pads practice, delivering hard hits and intercepting a pass, Clarence Dennis of the Rams' official site reports.
Christian ended the 2017 season on IR due to a shoulder injury. He'd primarily served as a special teams player prior to being sidelined, seeing the field on defense for just 47 snaps in 12 games. His solid play at Friday's practice is a positive sign for the young safety, who's been getting some extra reps while starter Lamarcus Joyner (Achilles) has been sidelined the past few days. Look for him to increase his role on defense if he keeps up the impactful play.
