Bears claim Zac Dysert off waivers

Bears backup quarterback Jimmy Clausen has a concussion and the team made a move Tuesday to give themselves some more help at the position.

Agent Mike McCartney announced on Twitter that his client Zac Dysert has been claimed off waivers by Chicago. Dysert was cut by the Broncos as they made their way to 75 players this week.

The move may not just be a temporary one. Dysert was a seventh-round pick by Denver in 2013, which means he spent the first two years of his career in an offense coordinated by Adam Gase on a team coached by John Fox.
