The most interesting storylines of Bears’ cut day — in which teams must trim their rosters to 53 players by 3 p.m. — have little to do with actual cuts. Four high-profile players could have their fates decided by the following questions:
Will Tarik Cohen start the season on the PUP list?
Looks like it. Cohen isn’t close to returning from October knee surgery on his torn right ACL. If the Bears put him on the Physically Unable to Perform list by Tuesday’s deadline, it would free up a roster spot — but also guarantee Cohen misses the first six weeks of the season.
