The Bears signed running back Demetric Felton to a one-year deal Sunday, and didn’t have to cut anyone to make room.
Instead, the team moved punter Tory Taylor, an Iowa alum from Australia, on the NFL’s Exempt/International Player list, which means he doesn’t count against the Bears’ 90-man roster in the preseason. The presumptive starter, Taylor will continue to practice as normal this preseason, and will have to be moved to the 53-man roster when the season begins.
