It's quite the predicament to lose your No. 1 and No. 2 receivers in Cameron Meredith and Kevin White for the season within a few weeks' of early season time, but that's the position the Chicago Bears find themselves following their contest against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. That kind of injury luck demands corresponding roster additions and moves immediately, something the Bears were immediately prepared for as evidenced by Tuesday afternoon.

Given that depleted receiving corps, the Bears officially signed this year's Bourbonnais sensation and the fan-favorite rookie Tanner Gentry to the active 53-man roster.
