WATCH: Bears LB Houston checks in early for Packers week

No need to check Lamarr Houston's pulse, the Chicago Bears outside linebacker is clearly hyped for this Sunday's season-opening rivalry matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Houston took a PROCast video of himself checking in early at Halas Hall on Wednesday and shared it with Bears fans at FOX Sports. After missing the second half of last season with a torn ACL, the former second-round pick of the Oakland Raiders appears to be eagerly awaiting the start of the 2015 season.
