5. Three safeties for Week One?

While I own up on mistakes, I will admit I had no idea how you handle Deiondre’ Hall. First, I wanted to get rid of him. That is a no-brainer considering the past month he has had. Then, DeAndre Houston-Carson broke his arm.

Houston-Carson is going to miss some time. If I had to have guessed, I would have assumed he was more likely to move to IR than Adam Shaheen. Especially, considering the tone of Nagy around each.

Still, Houston-Carson is going to be inactive for Week One. Are the Chicago Bears going to move into the regular season with three safeties? When do they expect to get Houston-Carson back?

Getting back a seventh-round pick for Deiondre’ Hall is a deal you take 100 times out of 100. However, it does leave the team short of depth at safety. How they handle this moving forward will be interesting.
