The 26-year-old from Auckland has had a standout pre-season for the NFC North Division contenders, with the fullback making numerous runs for the Chicago outfit.

As a result, it appears Lasike has scored a spot in the Bears' 53-man squad, as reported by 670 The Score and CBS Chicago reporter Chris Emma.
