Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 15, 2012 Slaton lost a numbers game with the Miami Dolphins and was cut on Sept. 1. The fifth-year pro had his best season as a 22-year-old rookie in 2008, when he rushed for nearly 1,300 yards with the Houston Texans. Injuries have limited his success in subsequent years, however. A source who has spoken with Forte told NFL.com and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport the running back suffered a high ankle sprain in the Bears' 23-10 loss on Thursday night. Chicago hasn't released any timetable on Forte's return, but players have been known to miss a month or more with the injury. The signing of Michael Bush suddenly appears to be a masterstroke by Bears management. It remains to be seen if Slaton joins the mix as well. NFL.com Definitely not a bad choice at all. I've always liked Steve Slaton. Wish he would catch on somewhere other than Chicago, but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smell My Face 13 Posted September 15, 2012 The Bears just signed Kahlil Bell back so I would imagine they wont be getting Slaton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted September 16, 2012 Slaton will always have a special place in my heart for what he did with the Texans in 2008, but after shoulder/neck injuries and fumbling problems he became a very timid/scared running back. I'm sure he could be a good 3rd down back on some teams that need a receiving back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
