Free agent LB Pisa Tinoisamoa will work out for the Bears on Wednesday.
The Chicago Tribune confirms that Tinoisamoa's right knee operation was of the major reconstructive variety after initial reports suggested it was just a routine procedure to repair "wear and tear." Tinoisamoa was given a recovery timetable of October, so the Bears will check on his progress in returning from a third right knee surgery.

Free agent SLB Pisa Tinoisamoa (knee) surgery would be "limited at best" in training camp if re-signed by the Bears.
Tinoisamoa's right knee operation may have been more serious than he or the team let on. The Bears are interested in retaining Tinoisamoa, but they may have to secure insurance because of the medical risk. The Chicago Tribune suggests ex-Seahawks LB Leroy Hill. In-house free agent Nick Roach is another option.
