Linebacker Ian Gold visited Halas Hall Thursday and took a psychical. He’s also expected to watch a portion of practice today. Gold is coming off a severe knee injury, but could be a major addition to the defense. A Pro Bowler on special teams in 2001, Gold also started for two seasons at weakside linebacker before suffering an ACL injury that cut his 2003 campaign short. The possible addition would mean Lance Briggs would stay at the strongside, because at 6-feet, 223 pounds Gold is well suited to play the weakside in Lovie Smith’s scheme."

March 28, 200422 yr Depends on his price tag though. Coming off a knee injury like that one, his price tag is probably very negotiable.
