Bears down to one Ayanbadejo on their roster

By Vaughn McClure, 2:33 p.m.

Fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo, placed on the suspended list for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's policy on steroids and related substances, said he will not be signed to the Bears' 53-man roster. Ayanbadejo was told of the team's intentions Monday.

"I knew that this was possible," he said. "I definitely didn't expect it to happen. I thought I'd be able to come back and maybe just contribute, then see how things went. I'm disappointed 100 percent, but I have nothing negative to say about the opportunity the Bears organization gave me."

Ayanbadejo participated in training camp and played in the exhibition season. The Bears signed fullback Lousaka Polite after Ayanbadejo was placed on the suspended the list. It appears Polite will remain as the backup to starter Jason McKie.

Ayanbadejo is the brother of Bears' All-Pro special-teamer Brendon Ayanbadejo.
