After being waived by the Bears as part of final cuts Sept. 2, rookie receiver Tanner Gentry spent the next 24 hours in limbo, not knowing whether he'd be claimed by another NFL team.
"It's tough," Gentry said. "Nobody obviously wants to get released. But I had my mom out here and my fiancée and my little sister, so it was all good. I just kind of waited around and I was very fortunate and thankful to be able to come back here."
After not being claimed by another club, Gentry returned to Halas Hall as a member of the Bears practice squad.
