Bears waive cornerback Kevin Toliver II, tight end Jesper Horsted

The Bears have begun trimming down their roster to reach the 53-man limit, and among notable cuts so far have been cornerback Kevin Toliver II and tight end Jesper Horsted.

Toliver, 24, was signed as an undrafted free agent out of LSU in 2018. He served as a key backup at cornerback over his two seasons with the Bears, stepping in as a starter on the boundary when Prince Amukamara missed a game last season. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune indicated on Saturday that Toliver could be a potential practice squad option, with the team potentially targeting a veteran option to back up Kyle Fuller and Jaylon Johnson.
