Chicago Bears Promote Edwin Williams and Waive Johan Asiata

Prior to Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears made adjustments to their 53-man roster.  The Chicago Bears made the decision to promote guard and center Edwin Williams from the team’s practice squad in hopes of improving their offensive line while at the same waiving guard Johan Asiata.

Last year, in 2009, 23-year-old Williams had two starts in four games with the Washington Redskins then was acquired by Chicago at the beginning of September off waivers.  He was one of the final few cuts made when the preseason came to an end.  Williams, out of Maryland, was actually an undrafted free agent in 2009 of Washington.

In order to make room for Williams on the active roster, the Bears waived Johan Asiata.  He had been given the opportunity ultimately to play at guard during the offseason but the spots eventually went to Roberto Garza as well as Lance Louis for a starting combination.  If Asiata ends up clearing waivers, Chicago may decide to put him back on the practice squad but for now the future is untold.
