>>Bears Make Moves

The Chicago Bears have signed safety Chris Prosinski and linebacker LaRoy Reynolds and waived safety Brock Vereen.

Prosinski has appeared in 56 games with nine starts over four seasons with Jacksonville (2011-14) and Philadelphia (2014), collecting 73 tackles. He also has 27 special-teams tackles.

Reynolds appeared in 30 games with three starts for Jacksonville from 2013 to 2015.

Vereen had 38 defensive tackles and nine special-teams stops in two seasons for Chicago.

The Bears (0-3) have been busy after getting shut out for the first time since 2002 in a 26-0 loss at Seattle, trading Jared Allen to Carolina and Jonathan Bostic to New England. Chicago hosts Oakland this week.

>>Packers QB Tolzein Compares Rodgers To Jordan

There are very few people who have ever played the quarterback position better than Aaron Rodgers is playing it right now, especially when he's playing at home at Lambeau Field. Put very simply, the man is unstoppable.

It's plain to see for everyone watching. Everyone watching, apparently, also includes Rodgers' backup, Scott Tolzein. Tolzein said via ESPN Wisconsin quote-"I mean, to me, it's like watching Jordan in his prime. He's at the top of his game. He makes it all go."

Since the start of last season, the Packers QB has thrown 48 touchdowns and only five interceptions, while completing 66.8 percent of his passes at 8.4 yards per attempt. That equates to a 115.6 passer rating, which would be the best of all time by a significant margin. Rodgers himself has the all-time record (for players with at least 500 career pass attempts) with a 106.8 rating, and he's the only guy even over 100.0. Russell Wilson and Tony Romo are in second and third at 98.2 and 97.6.

In his past 16 home games -- essentially the equivalent of a full season -- Rodgers' numbers are even more insane. He's 331 of 480 (69.0 percent) for 4,472 yards (9.3 per attempt), 43 touchdowns through the air and no picks, and he's added another 253 yards and three scores with his legs.
