At least once a day during training camp, Bears head coach Matt Nagy will walk into general manager Ryan Pace’s office and stare at the depth chart board on the wall.
“It’s a good feeling when you know you have some guys that, unfortunately, you’re going to have to cut that could make your roster,” Nagy said Tuesday.
It has to happen by the league’s new deadline to whittle rosters from 80 players to 53 — Tuesday at 3 p.m. The date is four days earlier than recent years as a result of a restructured offseason.
The Bears’ roster is mostly set, though they’ll evaluate some of the final cut candidates in Saturday’s exhibition finale against the Titans.
