Bears Boost Defense, Let Go of Long Snapper | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears made two key moves this week: signing versatile defensive back Beanie Bishop to bolster a shaky secondary and releasing veteran long snapper Luke Elkin in favor of rookie Beau Gardner. Bishop, who totaled 45 tackles, 7 pass deflections, and 4 interceptions last season, brings急需 depth after injuries sidelined key players like Coby Bryant and Cam Lewis. Meanwhile, Gardner — a standout college snapper with All-American honors — is now the starter, giving the Bears confidence in their special teams. With defense still thin, the team hopes these additions signal stability as they head into the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
