Bears Roster Moves and Practice Squad Shifts | NFL News

About this episode

The Chicago Bears made major roster cuts, but surprise moves are everywhere—eight waived players were quickly re-signed to practice squads or the 53-man roster, while over twenty others saw limited success elsewhere. Defensive lineman James Lynch and linebacker Jack Sanborn earned spots on the active roster after preseason standout performances, clearing room by placing safety Coby Bryant and tight end Hayden Large on injured reserve. On the practice squad, eleven familiar faces remain alongside three new pickups, including running back Salvon Ahmed and wideout Kaden Davis—both near-misses for the main roster. Meanwhile, only offensive lineman Mason Murphy landed a 53-man spot with the Saints, while others like Amegadjie, Wills, and Terell Smith joined other teams’ practice squads. Three players—Beanie Bishop, Ruben Hyppolite, and Dontae Manning—were waived with injury designations and now sit on IR, potentially eligible for future injury settlements with Chicago.

It's September 2nd. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. So, the Chicago Bears wrapped up their roster cuts, and it's always a bit of a shake-up. They had to let go of eight players who immediately hit free agency, but get this, they brought most of them right back onto the practice squad, or even the main 53-man roster. Then there were over 20 more cuts, and only a handful of those guys ended up catching on with other teams, either on their 53 or their practice. Squads A couple of players, defensive lineman James Lynch and linebacker Jack Sandborn actually made it back onto the 53-man roster. They cleared space by putting safety, Kobe Bryant and Titan Hayden large on injured reserve, meaning those two will miss at least the first four. Games Lynch was looking good in the preseason, and Sandborn should provide some depth at linebacker and help out on special teams. Now for the practice squad, the Bears have 11 guys who were with them before, plus three

new faces picked up from other teams. Some of these players, like running back Salvin Ahmed and wide receiver Kayden Davis, were considered close calls for the main roster, but the numbers, game just didn't work out for them. Defensive lineman Marcus Davenport is also on the practice squad, still getting up to speed. On the flip side, a few Bears cuts have found new homes elsewhere. Defense of lineman Mason Murphy was the only one claimed by another team's 53-man roster, heading to the New Orleans Saints. Others like offensive tackles Kieran Omega G and Jedric Will's, along with cornerback to Real Smith, landed on practice squads with different organizations. Finally, there were three players waved with injury designations, defensive back beanie bishop, linebacker Ruben Hippelite, and defensive Vagdante. Manning. All reverted to injured reserve for now, so they technically remain with the team. If their injuries aren't season ending, we might see them reach an injury settlement with Chicago down the line.
