On Sunday the Chicago Bears announced that they have waived undrafted free agent running back Napoleon Maxwell and they have activated running back Artavis Pierce from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
This transaction takes the Bears to the mandated 80-man roster limit.
They have two players currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list, John Jenkins and Eric Saubert, and one player on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list, Tre Roberson. Once Jenkins and Saubert are cleared from quarantine the Bears will need to make an accommodating roster move.
Maxwell ran for over 2,000 yards at FIU from 2014 to 2019 — he missed two years with a knee injury during his time in college — and he averaged 5.
