Chicago has made a pair of roster moves on Thursday morning.
The Bears announced they’ve waived receiver Javon Wims and re-signed cornerback Dionte Ruffin.
Wims had been dealing with an oblique injury. The receiver played a handful of snaps in each of Chicago’s first two preseason games, but hadn’t made a reception.
Last year, Wims was suspended for a pair of games after throwing a punch at Saints cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson in Week Eight. Wims was retaliating after Gardner-Johnson had grabbed the receiver’s mouthpiece and threw it to the ground.
Wims was a seventh-round pick in 2017. He has 28 receptions for 266 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 33 games.
The Bears had waived Ruffin 10 days ago. The defensive back signed with Chicago in the spring as an undrafted free agent.
