The Bears on Monday made room on their 90-man roster for veteran receiver Victor Cruz by waiving quarterback Connor Shaw.
Shaw joined the Bears last July 1 when he was claimed off waivers from the Browns. He performed well in the preseason, completing 11 of 16 passes for 127 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 132.0 passer rating.
But Shaw was lost for the season when he suffered a broken leg in the Bears' third preseason game against the Chiefs.
