Cutting Tim Jennings and placing Ryan Mundy on injured reserve Sunday assured the Bears of sporting an entirely different secondary from the one that started the 2014 season.
A year ago, the unit featured Jennings and Charles Tillman at cornerback and Mundy and Chris Conte at safety. Tillman and Conte were not re-signed by the Bears during the offseason and ultimately joined the Panthers and Buccaneers, respectively.
With all the changes, the defensive backfield that started last Saturday night's preseason game against the Bengals—Kyle Fuller and Alan Ball at cornerback and Antrel Rolle and Adrian Amos at safety—is trying to develop some cohesiveness.
