The Chicago Bears waived linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II with an injury designation on Sunday, August 30, following the conclusion of training camp. Hyppolite, a 2025 fourth-round pick who played 31 defensive snaps as a rookie, suffered a shoulder injury during the preseason opener that hindered his attempt to secure a roster spot. In additional roster moves, the team waived 2024 third-round offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie, who competed for a left tackle position throughout the summer. The Bears previously parted ways with 2025 fifth-round cornerback Zah Frazier earlier in the spring. If Hyppolite clears waivers, he may move to the season-ending injured reserve list, while Amegadjie remains a potential candidate for the team's practice squad. The Bears begin their regular season schedule against the Carolina Panthers on September 13.
