Is tight end signing telling of Trey Burton status?

The Chicago Bears made a move to the back end of their 53-man roster on Wednesday. The team added J.P. Holtz, a tight end who has bounced around the NFL since being a UDFA in 2017. Holtz was on the Browns before spending time in Washington, which is where the Bears signed him from.

The team made a corresponding move by cutting Abdullah Anderson. Expect the Bears to look to get Anderson on the practice squad, after he spent a season there last year.

However, the move will leave the Bears with five defensive lineman and five tight ends.
