Another practice, another bottom-of-the-roster change as the Bears waive OT Cody Booth (UDFA out of Temple) and replace him with OT Dennis Roland, who has started 30 games and made 71 appearances for the Cincinnati Bengals over the past six seasons.  After Mike North's careful reasoning I thought perhaps they might be bringing in Tim Tebow, but... no.

If you missed them or need a refresher, catch up with yesterday's open thread and/or practice recap; for the latest Chicago Bears news, take a peek at the Bears Den.

Lester will have the usual summary of key events and observations from practice for you later.  In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts and any interesting tweets that you see in this open thread.
