It looks like there will have to be one somewhat surprise cut at both RB and WR

RB: Wolfe, Peterson, McKie, Jones, Forte. Forte, Peterson, McKie seem safe - could the team need to decide between Wolfe + Jones? I assume Peterson is safe due to special teams. How many backs are on active roster?

WR: Bradley, Hester, Davis, Hass, Booker, Lloyd, Bennett, Monk. Hester, Davis, Booker & Bennett should be safe. Pretty sure team keeps 6 on active roster. Does that mean that Lloyd, Bradley Hass and Monk are competing for 2 spots?

Hester only kinda sorta counts since he's on return duties too, so he fills two roles.

Like you said, either Jones or Wolfe is gone, I'd think, with 6 WRs, one of whom will be on the practice squad. You never know who'll have to be IRed either, unfortunately.

I have to think RB Garrett Wolfe & WR Mike Haas might be the Bears in danger of not making the 53 man roster, let alone the practice squad. Just a hunch, let alone an educated guess.

Unless there are about 2 injuries at the WR spot, Haas won't make the team.

Cutting Wolfe makes sense to me but I don't see them doing that. Maybe Peterson or Mckie would make sense to them but not to me.

Bradley & Haas will probably get cut. This is a sorry bunch of WRs.

Wolfe hopefully won't make the team, Hass will do his camp/preseason thing and then disappear. If Bradley gets hurt he's done. Lloyd's name hasn't come up at all, and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

5 WRs will make the 53 roster. Booker, Lloyd, Hester, Davis, +1 (Bennett or Bradley?)
Monk will probably go to the practice squad but he looks totally average so far in camp.
Rideau, Hass, Grice-Mullen (PS if lucky) = cut. I think Bradley should be cut too.

4 RBs including McKey who's a FB. Forte, Jones, AP. Cut Wolfe.

LOL then you've been wrong for a couple of years. I hope Bradley turns out to be good. I just don't see it. He's had one decent game where he had a 40 yard TD reception. Other then that he's sucked. I wouldn't mind it at all if he doesn't make the 53 roster.

He's got to make the roster first.

Is this Mark Bradley's last chance to make this sorry roster given his inability to stay healthy?

He was healthy last year. He just sucks.

He was available for 15 games last year:

Personally, I felt it was inexcuseable that Bradley, Hass and Beekman didn't see more playing time last season to see what the Bears would have moving forward - as they knew they were wacking Moose, and letting Ruben Brown walk. Stupid... plain ole stupid.
