After a game in which they lost their starting center and linchpin member of the secondary, the Bears undertook a cluster of roster moves late Tuesday that, based on what did and didn't happen, suggest implications beyond the specific individuals involved.
What did not happen was the signing of a veteran to step in for Will Montgomery, placed on injured reserve after the veteran center suffered a broken leg on the third play of the Bears’ win Sunday over the Oakland Raiders. The indication then is that the Bears see Montgomery’s replacement already on their roster, presumably leaving guard Matt Slauson where he performed ably in Montgomery’s stead on Sunday.
