The Bears, like everyone else, are working their way from 90 to 53 players this preseason. Bears senior writer Larry Mayer reported the latest roster cuts earlier today:
Waived:
Of note from this list is Carter, a seventh-round draft pick out of Southern in 2022. In Carter’s two season with the Bears, he has started two of 13 game appearances. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 notes that there’s expected to be significant interest in Carter on the waiver wire.
Johnson is the only other one of the nine to appear in regular season action. As a reserve defensive back last year, he appeared in nine contests, even notching an interception in a garbage time loss to the Chiefs.
