Overview
- The Chicago Bears released Jedrick Wills on Sunday during the NFL 53-man roster cutdown, ending his March one-year comeback deal.
- Wills missed the 2025 season and was limited by knee problems that reduced him to 13 appearances over his final two Browns seasons before he signed with Chicago.
- He struggled to win the Bears’ left-tackle job in camp and surrendered a preseason sack to Julian Okwara while Ozzy Trapilo’s return further crowded the position.
- Chicago has expressed interest in keeping Wills on its practice squad, but he first must clear waivers and remains free to sign with any team.
- Cleveland has moved on at left tackle, installing rookie Spencer Fano as its starter after overhauling the offensive line, which underscores why teams prioritized younger, healthy options in roster decisions.
