Phoenix' vaunted Carousel of Doom had worked its way up to six running backs, before today's two for one deal, while Chicago's own RB committee had dwindled down to injured players and spare parts. Phoenix moved the middle of its RB rotation, Ryan Mathews and Rashard Mendenhall, for concussed rookie Eddie Lacy, making room for the team to re-add kicker Steve Hauschka. In Lacy, the Uprising add a high upside RB that will sit out this week, and is on a bye next week; The Uprising will be counting on him to fill-in during RB Matt Forte and Darren McFadden's eventual bye weeks, taking a longview approach, while The Bears will probably plug both of their newcomers directly into the starting lineup, addressing immediate concerns.
