1a) "The Bears on Tuesday waived cornerback Tre Roberson with a non-football injury designation, a designation used for players who are unable to practice due to an injury that did not occur in an NFL game or practice."
1b) Yes, Roberson got a ton of $ coming in from CFL, but Bears have some depth with Tolliver and Johnson, plus Artie Burns and the other rookie Vildor. And my personal dark horse to make the team is Stephen Denmark. They still think he can play corner even though he has safety size. As for Roberson who knows what he came to camp with - bum knee? bad shoulder? probably not Covid.
2) I'd have to give the edge for the #4 TE to Holtz only because Graham is a so-so blocker, Kmet probably isn't a good blocker yet, and only Demetrius Harris is considered an accomplished blocker. Horsted is a converted WR out of Princeton but could develop into a Trey Burton type of player, but right now Holtz offers more options in a double TE formation or as a FB. Now if Kmet shows he can block that might open up a spot for Hortsted. Horsted probably makes PS - I doubt Bears keep 5 TEs this early but they did at times last year.
3) Eddie Goldman - say it ain't so.
4) If Pierce is asymptomatic he could still stay in shape but he's definitely behind Nall now. But if he makes the PS he can always be brought in later on in the season.
5) Bill Sharp -- I don't know what pissed me off more today Jayapal and her leftists showboating at the expense of the AG or the media squelching another good report on hydroxychloriquin. OK - back to Bears.
