Three Bears Slink Back to the Forest
With the Tuesday deadline approaching things are getting tense in Chicago, as the Bears have let 3 more players go. Some will see their dreams realized with a spot on the roster while others will go away to other teams and opportunites, where the rest will be clocking in at UPS come next week.

On Sunday, the Bears waived undrafted offensive tackle Jean Delance with a non-football illness designation.
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 52-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.
