Picking the Bears’ 53-man roster

The Bears’ Terrell Lewis sacks the Titans’ Will Levin on Saturday.

The clock is ticking.

Two weeks from Tuesday, teams will cut their entire 90-man roster — or 91 for the Bears because they have an international player — down to 53. It’s a new way of doing things in the NFL, which in recent years mandated three cut days, and then two.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus likes the idea of having all 90 players on hand for the third preseason game, though he’s not guaranteed to use all his starters. That’s a problem for next week, though.
