Chicago Bears: 5 players who must not make final roster
By Ryan Heckman
The Chicago Bears are about ready to begin some serious roster cuts. These five players should already have their bags packed.
Following the fourth of five preseason games for the Chicago Bears, we learned quite a bit about the bottom half of the roster. In a game where the Kansas City Chiefs showcased their starters for a good portion of the afternoon, head coach Matt Nagy decided to do the opposite.

Now that the Bears have four exhibitions under their belt, I think we are all getting a strong feeling about certain players and their chances of making the final 53-man roster. On one hand, guys like Rashaad Coward and 7th-round pick Javon Wims have impressed in a tremendous way.
On the other, there are certainly players who have not shown enough to sneak their way onto the team. The decisions are going to be tough for Nagy and his staff when it comes to some of those final spots, but fortunately there have been guys who have made it obvious they simply don’t belong.
It is always tough to see players cut, regardless of their tenure with the team or in tenure the NFL. Some of the players the Bears cut will go on to have an extended career with other teams. But, others may not be so lucky.
Let’s take a look at five players that Nagy should have a pretty easy decision cutting prior to the September 1 deadline.
