As we all knew before final cuts were made, wide receiver Brandon Rideau is not eligible for the practice squad.  It’s interesting that so far they only filled seven of the eight available spots.  It will be interesting to see if they try to add an experienced player to the active roster and demote someone down to the practice squad.

I’ve heard a rumble about Warrick Dunn being out there as some depth for the running back position.   Also caught wind of DE Kevin Carter being out there to add some depth on the defensive line.  And of course, for those still seeking that wide receiver, Matt Jones is still right there for the taking.  Check out this video clip of the top veterans on the street according to the guru’s over at NFL Network by clicking here.

Rookie wide receiver Johnny Knox left the Browns in the dust as the Bears rolled to a 26-23 victory

The Bears finished up the preseason with a 3-1 record after edging the Cleveland Browns 26-23.  Check out NFL.com’s highlight package here.  In typical fourth preseason game fashion, the starters broke more of a sweat during warmups than they did in the game.  Many of the regulars played one series, which consisted of one snap for the defense after Zack Bowman’s interception on the first play from scrimmage.  Jay Cutler played a series, but that included handing the ball to Kevin Jones, who left the game in the second series with an ankle injury.  It will be interesting to see the extent of the injury and how that might impact the final 53-man roster.
