Former Pittsburgh Steelers and current Chicago Bears WR Chase Claypool will be active for today’s Week Two game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Sunday morning that Claypool will play.
The question over his status comes off the heels of Claypool’s ugly Week One performance. He failed to catch a pass and was criticized for lazily blocking as the Bears were shelled by the Green Bay Packers 38-17.
Earlier in the week, Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus hinted Claypool would not dress after he told reporters they were looking “at all possibilities” when pressed about Claypool’s status.
