Chicago Bears 2023 practice squad and roster tracker

The Chicago Bears tweaked their initial 53-man roster yesterday, and signed some players for their 16-man practice squad.

Today’s waivers will process at 3:00 (CT) this afternoon, at which time the Bears may add to their practice squad. They hold the top position on the wire until a day after the week three games are concluded.

Once teams are notified about which players passed through waivers unclaimed, they’ll then get to work adding the players they want to their practice squads. These players are free to sign wherever they please, so they’ll look for a team that offers their best chance to ascend to the active roster.

The Bears will bring back many of their recently released players, but they can also add up to six vested veterans to their practice squad, which may push some younger prospects off their radar.

We’ll keep track of all the rumors and reports surrounding the Chicago Bears’ 2023 practice squad and 53-man roster shuffle here.
