Wednesday evening, Bears general manager Phil Emery rallied to support Marshall, who’s now in his third season with the Bears with no off-field legal troubles since arriving in 2012.
“Brandon has the full support of the Chicago Bears,” Emery said. “We were aware of his personal background when we traded for him in 2012 and equally aware of the tremendous efforts he made to bring positive changes in his life and in the lives of all the people around him.
“Since his arrival, Brandon has thrived in an environment that has been supportive. He has been a very positive, thoughtful and proactive leader and role model.”
