Fiammetta (hamstring) re-signed with the Bears on Monday, ESPNChicago.com reports. It seems likely the Bears planned on bringing Fiammetta back all along after releasing him Saturday. The fullback was likely unavailable for the Week 2 tilt due to the hamstring injury, and with the status of receivers Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall up in the air, the Bears needed to create more roster flexibility temporarily. Assuming Fiammetta is creeping closer to full health, he'll serve as running back Matt Forte's lead blocker.
