Bears awarded 6 players from waivers

The Chicago Bears claimed six players off of waivers today so there will be some changes to their 53-man roster announced soon.

Here are the new Bears:

  • OL Alex Leatherwood
  • TE Trevin Wesco
  • DT Armani Watts
  • DE Kingsley Johnathan
  • LB Sterling Weatherford
  • DB Josh Blackwell

The big-name is former first-round draft pick Alex Leatherwood, and as a first-rounder, the Bears will be on the hook for some of his salary. The Raiders have already paid about 60% of the contract per Ian Rapoport.
