The Chicago Bears signed defensive back Beanie Bishop on August 9. This addition follows injuries to safety Coby Bryant, who will miss an extended period, and Cam Lewis, who left practice recently. Bishop entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Steelers in 2024, accumulating 45 tackles and four interceptions last season. However, he is currently suspended for the first three games of the 2026 NFL season, limiting his immediate impact. Additionally, the Bears waived long snapper Luke Elkin in a corresponding move.
