The Chicago Bears capped off the third week of the preseason with a 21-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night, and the team is currently trying to narrow its roster down to 53 players before the start of the regular season.
Chicago’s starters played deep into the third quarter against the Bengals, and many will not play against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night in the preseason finale.
Before 4 p.m. ET on September 1, all NFL teams need to reduce their rosters from 90 players down to 75 players. After the final preseason game on September 3, NFL teams must reduce their rosters to 53 players by September 5.
On Sunday night, the Bears began making some roster cuts. According to Chicago Bears radio network sideline reporter Zach Zaidman, Chicago waived cornerback Al Louis-Jean, tight end Kevin Greene, offensive lineman Cameron Jefferson, wide receiver Jeremy Kelley, long snapper Rick Lovato, wide receiver Levi Norwood, defensive lineman Olsen Pierre and tight end Chris Pantale.
Per Zaidman, the team also released cornerback Tim Jennings, placed safety Ryan Mundy on injured reserve, waived wide receiver John Chiles and terminated the contract of running back Daniel Thomas.
Now that three preseason games are in the books—and a handful of roster moves have been made—what does Chicago’s projected 53-man roster look like?
