Chicago Bears cut-down tracker

NFL teams need to be at the 53-man roster limit by Today at 3:00 p.m. Central, but several franchises have already begun trimming their rosters. The Chicago Bears, a team that could be in the market for some depth-chart upgrades, could be scouring the waiver wire looking for help.

Vested veterans that are cut can sign with a new team immediately, but players with less than four years of experience will need to go through waivers.

We’ll track all the Bears' transactions and rumors right here as they ready their roster for the 2022 season.

Here is some info to keep in mind for release day.

Wednesday at noon ET (11:00 a.m. CT) is also when teams can start creating their 16-man practice squad. This year teams can have up to six players on the practice squad with unlimited experience, and they can elevate a player three times before having to sign them to their active roster.

Wednesday is also when teams can place players on injured reserve from their initial 53-man roster, which makes them eligible to be designated for return. This year players on IR need to miss at least four games before they can return to the active roster, but teams can bring eight players off injured reserve this season.
