Chicago Bears claim NFL-high six players off waivers, including OL Alex Leatherwood

The Chicago Bears claimed offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday.

Leatherwood was one of an NFL-high six players claimed off waivers by the Bears.

Leatherwood, the Raiders' 2021 first-round draft pick, was waived on Tuesday as Las Vegas trimmed to its initial 53-man roster.

Leatherwood, who was taken with the No. 17 overall pick out of Alabama to be the Raiders' foundational right tackle, regressed in the preseason, and Las Vegas' new regime of coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler had seen enough.
