Bears defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad hits Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota in the Bears’ 27-24 loss to the Falcons on Nov. 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The Bears will release defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad after a disappointing first season in Matt Eberflus’ defense, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting.

Cutting Muhammad is an expected move as part of an anticipated overhaul of the defense after the Bears finished last in the NFL in points allowed (27.2 points per game) and sacks (20) and 29th in yards allowed in the first season under Eberflus and defensive coordinator Alan Williams in 2022.
