“The Adrian I know was always a kind-hearted, gentle, very generous human being,” the Bears’ defensive end said Wednesday at Halas Hall. “Obviously he made a mistake. I just pray that him and his family and his son and everybody that’s going through it, I hope everybody learns it, they can heal their wounds.

“He’s obviously had to deal with the punishment. Do I think his football career should be ended over it? No. Do I hope he learned a valuable lesson and do I think he did? Yeah. Obviously you go through stuff, you face the consequences.

“If he happens to come back the week after we play him — awesome.”
