Mcclellin ready

-

Bears rookie defensive end Shea McClellin said he feels ‘‘wellprepar­ed’’ for his NFL debut. McClellin figures to be a situationa­l pass rusher, though he could play on special teams ‘‘if he’s not in the rotation [at end] and he’s not getting a lot of reps on defense,’’ special-teams coordinato­r Dave

said. McClellin just wants to be on the field.

‘‘We’ll see when the time comes,’’ McClellin said when asked about his role on defense. ‘‘It doesn’t matter to me. Whatever the team needs me to play, I’ll play.’’
