They have waived wide receivers Maurice Alexander, Kaden Davis, Omari Kelly, and JP Richardson; offensive linemen Kiran Amegadjie, Caden Barnett, Kyle Hergel, Jaren Kump, and Mason Murphy; defensive backs Beanie Bishop, Anthony Johnson, Dontae Manning, Deantre Prince, Marlen Sewell, Terell Smith, and William Wright; linebackers Antonio Grier, Ruben Hyppolite, and Wayne Matthews; tight end Qadir Ismail; defensive lineman Jeremiah Martin; and quarterback Miller Moss.
In addition to the cuts, the Bears announced that they have activated punter Tory Taylor.
