The Chicago Bears are not known for making much noise this season, so when a move gets made to the roster, it usually signals something is going on.
The Bears made a roster move by releasing defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon from the practice squad. Just before the Bears' 26-14 win over the New Orleans Saints last week, Kpassagnon was released from the active roster and then re-signed to the practice squad.
Kpassagnon had made an early-season impact on the Bears as he filled in for Austin Booker as the backup after Booker was placed on IR to start the year. In four games, Kpassagnon racked up five tackles, two quarterback hits, one tackle for loss, and one sack.
What could be coming up for the Bears with Kpassagnon off the practice sqaud?
Multiple scenarios could be coming for Chicago with a move like that. The most logical is that someone else is about to get released from the active roster to make room for Booker and/or Amen Ogbongbemiga, who both just recently had their 21-day practice window opened, as both are looking to get off the IR.
Chicago could be in the market to make a trade for a player or a draft pick. There has been speculation that guys like left tackle Braxton Jones could be on the trade block. The Bears might even be in the market to bring in another cornerback after the recent Tyrique Stevenson injury in the Saints game.
Don't be surprised if Kpassagnon isn't a free agent for long. He could either be seen as a player another team could sign or the Bears will scoop him up again for the practice squad.

The release of Kpassagnon opens the door for the Bears to be aggressive and make a move. Even one that involves internal movement could be the key difference between winning and losing.
