Comes off PUP list Chicago activated Smith from the active/PUP list Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Impact The star linebacker has been holding out of training camp and recently requested a trade due to dissatisfaction with his contract situation, and he plans to continue holding out despite being activated, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's not clear if the Bears intend to offer him the long-term contract he's seeking or cut ties in a potential blockbuster trade, but Smith should be a top-tier IDP option as long as he plays somewhere this season.
