"I'm feeling really good," the lineman said at a team charity event Saturday. "They're saying another couple of weeks and I'll be here for (offseason training activities) and minicamps.

Carimi suffered a dislocated knee cap last season in a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was eventually placed on injured reserve and underwent surgery.

Carimi was the Bears' first-round pick (No. 29 overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft.
