On Thursday morning the Chicago Bears announced that they have waived wide receiver Javon Wims while re-signing defensive back Dionte Ruffin.
Wims had been with the Bears since being a seventh round pick in the 2018 draft, appearing in 33 games with 7 starts, and he had 28 receptions for 266 yards and 2 touchdowns during his time in Chicago.
He’s probably most known for throwing an ill-advised punch at New Orleans’ C. J. Gardner-Johnson in the Bears 26–23 overtime loss a year ago, or perhaps for dropping the flea-flicker dime-ball that would have been a touchdown in the Bears 21-9 wildcard loss to the Saints which ended their 2020 season.
