Tre McBride was released on Tuesday. This came as a bit of a surprise when initially seeing the news. McBride had the second most snaps amongst wide receivers last week, and it looked like he had solidified himself in the pecking order ahead of Markus Wheaton. Then, poof, he’s gone.
However, within about 24 hours of the release, it comes across the newswire that the Bears have claimed Lamarr Houston off of waivers. It makes sense that they would claim him. He has familiarity with the team, and Leonard Floyd is out for the season.
