Two days after Justin Fields returned from a dislocated thumb and started against the Lions, the Bears released the player they signed shortly after his injury: quarterback Trace McSorley.
McSorley, a Penn State alum, helped run the scout team while on the practice squad while Fields was hurt. Tyson Bagent is the Bears’ second-string quarterback and Nathan Peterman is their third-stringer.
The Bears signed veteran safety Adrian Colbert to the practice squad.
