Bears Roster Shuffle: Bryant to IR, Sanborn Signed
After the Bears' initial 53-man roster, safety Coby Bryant is headed to IR (4–6 months after knee surgery) and tight end Hayden Large to IR, with defensive lineman James Lynch and linebacker Jack Sanborn signed to the active roster; Ruben Hyppolite II also goes to IR. Lynch and Sanborn bypassed waivers as vested veterans, and Chicago began forming a 16-man practice squad.
