The Chicago Bears wrapped up their third and final preseason game on Saturday, falling 24-21 to the Buffalo Bills to wrap up a 1-2 preseason as the team prepares for the regular-season opener on Sept. 10.
Just one day removed from the final preseason game, roster cuts have begun as the Bears start the process of trimming the active roster down to 53.
Among Sunday's cuts were backup quarterback P.J. Walker and former first-round pick offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood.
Source confirms the Bears have released QB PJ Walker. Tyson Bagent’s unexpected August run appears to have landed him the QB2 job.
