With Mark Sanchez injured, Bears will hang on to Connor Shaw

When the Bears announced they'd waived Connor Shaw Tuesday morning to make room for wide receiver Victor Cruz, it begged a question: Would the door still be open for Shaw to return?

It only took a few hours for that question to be answered.

Mark Sanchez suffered a left leg injury during Tuesday's OTAs and is expected back for training camp in July, though he'll miss the remainder of the Bears' offseason program. That means the Bears would've been down to two quarterbacks for the remainder of their OTAs and June's veteran minicamp.

So the Bears later Tuesday announced they rescinded the waiver request on Shaw and instead waived undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Jhajuan Seales.
