The tenure with the Chicago Bears has gone from bad to worse for former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool.
After being made inactive for the third time on Sunday against the Denver Broncos as a healthy scratch just two days after stating to reporters that the Bears weren’t using him correctly, a report came out Monday morning from ESPN’s Courtney Cronin that the team asked the fourth-year receiver to stay home Sunday as the team looks to trade him.
According to reporting from Cronin, a Bears spokesperson stated that the team told Claypool to stay home Sunday, which contradicted what Bears head coach Matt Eberflus stated to reporters after the 31-28 loss to the Broncos.
