Pringle, having followed Ryan Poles from Kansas City, joined the Bears back in 2022 amid a wave of speculation about him potentially securing a starting receiver spot alongside Darnell Mooney. But his journey took a detour due to persistent injuries. While he did manage to gear up for 11 games, he only made 10 catches, amassing 135 yards and two touchdowns.
There was no shortage of excitement around Pringle. Given his impressive track record in Kansas City, had he remained injury-free, the storyline could have been entirely different. Nevertheless, the Kansas State alumnus is now geared for a fresh start with the Commanders.
Instead of retaining Pringle, the Bears opted to bring back Equanimous St. Brown and Dante Pettis. Despite their involvement in a passing game that ranked rock-bottom, the additions of Chase Claypool, DJ Moore, and Tyler Scott left little scope for the ex-Chief. This reshuffling suggests a serious upliftment of the Bears' weakest position group from the previous season.
With Wednesday signaling the official onset of the Bears' training camp, the anticipation surrounding the 2023 season is inching towards fever pitch."
