The Bears on Monday promoted defensive back De'Vante Bausby from the practice squad to the active roster and waived defensive back Demontre Hurst.
Bausby entered the NFL last year with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburg State, but broke his collarbone last June. He was signed to the Bears practice squad last Dec. 22 after an impressive workout and spent the first five weeks of this season on the practice squad as well.
