"After holding their rookie minicamp over the weekend, the Chicago Bears and general manager Ryan Pace announced some roster moves. The team signed five players to contracts, receiver Matt Fleming, offensive linemen Jeremi Hall and Matt McCants, defensive backs John Franklin III and Tyrin Holloway. To make room for the new Bears, the team released offensive linemen Travis Averill and Cameron Lee and linebackers Howard Jones and Nyles Morgan. After the minicamp head coach Matt Nagy was asked if anybody really caught his eye. "There's a few guys. I think the one kid that stood out was Matt Fleming. Not a real big kid, but he made his assignments, did his job, made some nice catches." Fleming actually grew up in Chicago and attended Simeon High School and Benedictine College in Lisle.
Bears turned over the bottom of their roster with these moves following rookie minicamp. They're now at 90 players, the limit. Full squad reports to the first OTA on Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/xI2dYGcQu7 — Rich Campbell (@Rich_Campbell) May 14, 2018
