Bears waive CB Beanie Bishop with injury designation
Chicago is parting with cornerback Beanie Bishop, who flashed with two preseason interceptions, but is being waived with an injury designation as the club sets its 53-man roster.
The Chicago Bears have waived cornerback Beanie Bishop, per Ari Meirov, with the defensive back leaving the roster after a productive preseason.
Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate): The #Bears have waived CB Beanie Bishop, who had 2 INTs and 3 pass deflections in the preseason. He was waived with an injury designation.
Bishop recorded two interceptions and three pass deflections during the preseason, but he is being waived with an injury designation — a detail that complicates his path to the 53 and could put him on injured reserve or the waiver wire depending on how the designation resolves. For a Bears secondary that has churned depth, losing a playmaker who showed well in August is a notable cutdown-day subtraction, even if the injury status drove the decision.
