After going 3-1 in their first preseason under new head coach John Fox, the Chicago Bears had to reduce their roster from 75 players to 53 players before 4 p.m. on Saturday.
“We’ve got tough decisions to make, and we’ll have to work through that,” Fox said after the fourth preseason game, per Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com. “We’ll do everything in our power to pick the best 53 players.”
The Bears did not make very many surprising cuts on Saturday, but they did tinker with their roster on Sunday afternoon. Over the weekend, they added guard Patrick Omameh and safety Harold Jones-Quartey off waivers, waived offensive tackle Jordan Mills and cut veteran safety Sherrod Martin, according to Mayer.
Just ahead, we break down Chicago’s 53-man roster and take a look at the projected starters for the team’s regular-season opener against the Green Bay Packers.
