Bears cut WR Ted Ginn

Unsurprisingly — given the fact he was a healthy scratch for the second time Sunday — the Bears are cutting wide receiver Ted Ginn, sources confirmed Wednesday morning.

Ginn, the veteran speedster, lost his punt returning job before the Saints game, when the Bears signed and promoted Dwayne Harris. That left Ginn on the bench against his former team.

But for a one-year stint with the Cardinals and Bears, the 35-year-old spent three years apiece with the Dolphins, 49ers, Panthers and Saints. In New Orleans from 2017-19, he caught 100 passes for 1,417 yards.

The Bears signed Ginn to be an offensive weapon, but he was surpassed by rookie receiver Darnell Mooney by the end of summer camp.
