Chicago Bears announce initial 53-man roster
Following a couple days worth of cuts, the Chicago Bears have finalized their initial 53-man roster, which includes just 52 players with new offensive lineman Dan Feeney to be added.
That included some surprise cuts, including quarterback P.J. Walker and offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood.
Keep in mind, this initial 53-man roster is subject to change as waiver wire claims are made and other players are moved around, including the possibility of left guard Teven Jenkins landing on injured reserve.
The Bears have top waiver wire priority, which general manager Ryan Poles has already exercised this summer. There will be some top talent for him to choose from as he looks to assemble the regular-season roster.
