Taylor Gabriel: Cut free by Bears
The Bears released Taylor Gabriel (concussion) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Gabriel made it through two seasons of a four-year, $26 million contract, producing 41.6 receiving yards per game and six touchdowns in 25 regular-season appearances for the Bears. He suffered two concussions in 2019, with the second keeping him out for the final five weeks of the season. With the 29-year-old speedster out of the picture, Riley Ridley and Javon Wims could be in the mix for a starting job in Chicago, though the team still has free agency and the draft ahead to find better options at wide receiver. Veteran cornerback Prince Amukamara also was released Friday, with the two transactions clearing out a combined $13.5 million in 2020 cap space, per Field Yates of ESPN.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: Won't return for finale
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.Gabriel will miss a fifth straight game after suffering his second concussion of the season in a Week 12 win over the Giants. He made seven starts in nine appearances this year, catching 29 of 48 targets (60.4 percent) for 353 yards (7.4 YPT) and four touchdowns. A 6-75-3 receiving line against Washington in Week 3 was the only real highlight for fantasy purposes, and the overall production through two seasons hasn't lived up to a four-year, $26 million contract. Gabriel will turn 29 in February and may end up looking for a new team in the offseason.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: DNP on estimated report
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant Wednesday on the Chicago Bears' estimated practice report, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Since sustaining his second concussion of the season in the Bears' Week 12 game against the Giants, Gabriel hasn't been able to practice in any fashion. At this point, Gabriel would appear to have little chance of gaining clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Vikings.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: Out for another week
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.Gabriel will miss a fourth consecutive game after suffering his second concussion of the season. Anthony Miller has been thriving as the No. 2 receiver, while Javon Wims, Cordarrelle Patterson and Riley Ridley haven't done much with their extra opportunities. Ridley led the group in snap share (49 percent) during last week's loss to Green Bay, but Patterson wasn't far behind at 44 percent, and Wims (10 percent) could get more involved now that he's moved past a minor knee injury. In any case, Miller and Allen Robinson are the reliable fantasy choices from the group.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: Sidelined for practice
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.Gabriel will have one more opportunity this week to get in some form of activity on the practice field, but it doesn't appear likely he'll be able to do so. Since being diagnosed with his second concussion of the season coming out the Week 12 game against the Giants, Gabriel hasn't resumed practicing in any fashion and has missed three consecutive games. Expect him to sit out again Sunday in the Chicago Bears' home finale versus Kansas City.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: Still no activity in practice
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.Gabriel hasn't sniffed the practice field since sustaining his second concussion of the campaign Week 12. Until he makes some noticeable progress through the league's protocol for head injuries, he won't be a candidate for game action. Look for Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller to continue hogging the snaps and targets afforded to Chicago Bears wide receivers in the final two games of the season.

Bears' Taylor Gabriel: Won't face Packers
Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.Anthony Miller is locked in as the No. 2 receiver for at least one more week, with Javon Wims (knee), Cordarrelle Patterson and Riley Ridley also in the mix for snaps behind Allen Robinson. Wims drew six targets and played 91 percent of snaps in a Week 13 matchup with the Lions, but he's listed as questionable for the Chicago Bears' upcoming game after he suffered a knee injury during last week's win over Dallas. Meanwhile, Gabriel still hasn't returned to practice, making slow progress (if any) through the concussion protocol.
