Chicago Bears announce updated 53-man roster
There’s a reason they call it an initial 53-man roster, as things could and surely will change, as was the case for the Chicago Bears on Wednesday.
The Bears claimed two players off waivers, including defensive end Khalid Kareem and defensive back Quindell Johnson. They are also signing wide receiver Trent Taylor, who was released by the Cincinnati Bengals.
They also parted ways with defensive end Terrell Lewis and safety A.J. Thomas and will place left guard Teven Jenkins on injured reserve in corresponding roster moves. Jenkins will have to miss at least the first four games and will be designated to return.
