[CBFF] In Dusty we trusty?

[Steve Behrens]

In the same vien as Brown, where his talent allowed him to continue to start
(as long as he was kept on the roster in training camp and at the beginning
of the season) and only being released *after* the season and *after an
injury*, I see the Bears also giving Dusty one more chance.  If they're
letting him participate in camp, then he'll make the team if he earns the
spot.  If he's let go, it won't be because he's been injured a lot *
previously*.  I also think there's a good chance the Bears keep an extra
D-lineman this year.
