Mandatory roster limits will have teams getting rid of people over the next 2 days working to get their rosters down to 53 for the start of the regular season.

The Bears have released offensive linemen Tyler Reed,Cody Balogh and Ryan Poles.

Given the current state of the offensive line I was a bit surprised about Tyler Reed going.  I had read there were still those that thought he was good enough to make the team.  I can only hope the Bears will be looking at other team's castoffs for any potential backups.

The Bears have also release WR Mike Hass.  I know a lot of people around here were high on him, but this in not unexpected.  The last roster spot for receivers is believed to  currently be between Mark Bradley and Brandon Rideau.

Also release were fullback Lousaka Polite and defensive end Daniel Bazuin.
