Here is the Chicago Bears’ initial 53-man roster for 2022

LAKE FOREST – The Bears trimmed their roster down to 53 players on Tuesday.

In order to do so, they cut more than 20 players this week. Here’s the entire list of players who didn’t make the initial roster.

This is the first roster that general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus have built together. They can still make changes and additions in the coming days. Numerous players will hit the waiver wire after being released by other teams. Additionally, veterans with four years of experience or more will automatically hit free agency after being cut.

Below is the Bears’ initial 53-man roster, as of Tuesday afternoon.
