Trufant (groin/personal) was released by the Bears on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Trufant suffered a groin injury early in camp and stepped away from the team Aug. 13 due to the death of his father, and the Bears opted to part ways, given he hadn't returned to camp over the past couple weeks. The 30-year-old still wants to play this season, though it's unclear when he may be ready to take the field following the absence.
