The Chicago Bears will keep nine and most likely 10 defensive backs in total on the 53-man roster. It is the number that they keep every year. However, this year the battle for the last few spots may be more wide open than others.
At cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Kindle Vildor, Duke Shelley, and Desmond Trufant are all but locks. At safety, Eddie Jackson and Tashaun are the first teams, and Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson are right behind as long-standing second-team players. That gives us eight of the ten players, which has two spots open for the taking.
