Bears make head-turning release with defensive player prior to Saints game
Cincinnati Bengals v Chicago Bears | Perry Knotts/GettyImagesIt's been a bit unusual to see the Chicago Bears make any drastic cuts and releases before games this season, but they made one that might show their hand against the New Orleans Saints.
The team announced that they have released defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon. In four games with the team, Kpassagnon has racked up five tackles, two quarterback hits, one tackle for loss, and one sack.
Kpassagnon had picked up some playing time during the season with some of the key injuries on the defensive line. Guys like Grady Jarrett and Austin Booker missed time, which opened the door for Kpassagnon to play.
