“There were some reported signings for the Bears outside of their previously-cut players, including defensive tackle Sam Roberts (Patriots), long snapper
Scott Daly (Lions) and receiver
Samori Toure (
Packers). Those moves are not official as of now. With that in mind, it sounds like the Bears will retain offensive lineman
Theo Benedet, who hails from Canada, through the NFL's International Pathway Program (IPP), allowing them to keep 17 players on the practice squad.
But for Chicago's initial practice squad, there are a number of returning faces who had strong summers, including cornerback
Reddy Steward, quarterback
Austin Reed, linebacker Carl Jones Jr. and receiver
Collin Johnson.
For now, here’s a look at the Bears’ initial practice squad:
Bears' initial practice squad
- LB Micah Baskerville
- OL Theo Benedet
- TE Stephen Carlson
- DL Byron Cowart
- OL Jake Curhan
- WR Collin Johnson
- DB Quindell Johnson
- LB Carl Jones Jr.
- DL Jamree Kromah
- DL Dashaun Mallory
- DB Tarvarius Moore
- QB Austin Reed
- CB Reddy Steward
- DB Ro Terrence”
The Bears have started assembling their practice squad with 14 additions. Here's who's made the cut:

I’m glad to see Steward, Johnson, Jones Jr., and Curhan make it to the practice squad.
