Bostic has been sitting out the Bears' entire offseason program thus far due to a back issue, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Coach John Fox said he expects Bostic to be ready to go for training camp in July, so the injury probably shouldn't be viewed as anything especially serious. However, the missed action with the new coaching staff may put him behind Christian Jones in their competition for one of the starting spots at inside linebacker.
