Chicago Bears Finalize Roster Cuts

The Chicago Bears have cut their roster down to 53 players ahead of the NFL's deadline. Key moves include waiving 13 players, releasing nine vested veterans, and placing offensive lineman Larry Borom, defensive lineman Jacob Martin, and receiver Dante Pettis on injured reserve, with Borom and Martin designated to return after Week 4. Notably, the Bears retained two quarterbacks, Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent, while releasing Brett Rypien and Austin Reed, who are expected to join the practice squad. Velus Jones, initially a receiver, made the team as a running back and special teams player. The Bears can establish a 16-man practice squad on Wednesday and are ninth in the waiver order based on their 2023 records.
