Really hoping Romes injury is minor and he is able to go out and take a big step forward and be a stud!

Let’s go Bears!!! 🐻

Biggs reported in his Q&A earlier today (before these moves were made) that you should expect some moves to come and they are more about getting the cap in good order for flexibility (vs. an indication of a move coming). Doesn't mean a move won't come but its just good hygiene to make sure they have necessary flexibility to navigate during the season. If they don't use it...it just rolls over to next year anyway.

Fingers crossed neither injury is serious. Good to see Booker back. I hadn’t read anywhere that Monagai is back but saw it here - is he really back? I thought he was still week to week.

He’s doing sprints / makes you wonder if frustration with Bears is - they look at that and see someone who should be on field but he just isn’t there or isn’t quiet willing to trust his body to make that final push. Clearly he is not aligned with the staff. I actually was glad to see this video cause it in some way shows a bit of a fight back like hey I do care and I am working…which is more than I could say about Nate Davis.

Given Hardy is one of their best ST'ers, I can't imagine they plan on moving him to the practice squad.

Rumor is the 4th te will likely get put on injured list. My guess is they want to sneak him onto roster and hide him into practice squad.

I like Smith - seems like a good cover corner depth piece. I get he has had some serious injuries - but they seemed like that - serious injuries vs a fluke.

On Monday I think Smith and the TE large will both get put on IR opening up two spots. Hypolite was over drafted and may be out of the league a year later. Can’t stay on field - I’m curious if he is on practice squad - believe he was waived with an injury designation.

I presume we will see a few guys move to IR and then a couple guys picked up. LB looks thin. DB they went light but have a ton of safeties - Lewis can obviously play both. A 4th TE surprises me as well.

Thomas looked good too.

Terrel Smith looked good and Bagent was great. Nice way to finish the preseason.

Let’s have a good crisp game with good health for both squads!

Great with Luther back out there - even if just some individual drills. I’m hoping we get good news and see Monagai back at some point this week too and keep hoping we see Kyler make an appearance too.

I don’t like them at all - don’t look like Bears uniforms. I’m also not an Illinois fan. I’d rather see a Bears/Bulls collab like those sweet Sox city connect jerseys.

I expected a bad game - but that was real bad. Our first string defense has been cooked in the two drives it played and we saw a ton of overall sloppiness…including what seems like some increased sloppiness from the offense in practice. I hope we see them respond strong and coaches use it to push right buttons to ensure team is ready to roll. LTs both seem to suck - Theo has some potential given how raw he was to start his career but we need to see progress otherwise he is still the clear number 2b and a solid swing tackle. Braxton is a clear 2a - basically meaning we don’t have a true starter. Kiran and Jedrick are worse - both probably cut candidates unless someone sees Kiran as a guard candidate. Trapillo plan has to be to have ready for 2nd quarter of the season - presuming he will be on IR first 4 weeks but hopefully able to practice with team and be getting reps.

I’m curious what a few weeks means? Is this 2 weeks or 6 weeks…if 2-3 weeks he should be back by week 1. I do think they should look to see who gets cut at rb or even look at one of the free agent running backs.

He is still recovering from tearing his ACL last season. It seemed to be that he was going to be back week 1 but at this point it seems like that wound be in jeopardy. I wonder if he had a set back cause I thought he was close at some of the mini camps and I haven’t heard anything since - but it is still less than 12 months since his surgery.

He isn't getting much and it will be a 1 yr deal. My guess is this means Turner is further away.

Regarding Kiran - I will caveat - they are sending a message and I want to see how he responds coming out of this game. He’s healthy and in better physical shape - now go and step up from here on out. Ben has set a message to all of his LT prospects - I want to see who responds and steps up.

Kiran won’t make it - unless they see him playing at guard. He just isn’t good and whether it was injuries or other stuff - he was another in a long list of 3rd round misses from Poles. The hope is we see Poles draft rates excel with this coaching staff.

Huge news - way sooner than expected. Hopefully the momentum with Oz continues - he’s got a month of practices before season starts - even if he begins the year coming off the bench this is a huge step forward!

Brutal - wish him all the best in his recovery!

Rappaport reporting Burden is going to miss some time with a groin injury. He went down in yesterdays practice with no details - hopefully it is minor but missing some time makes me think more then a week. Hopefully minor and it isn’t something that impacts him this year.

Va Der Berg seems to be impressing the coaches - we know he has the tools so would be awesome to see him really emerge on the scene in the interior.
