Bears' Nsimba Webster: Staying in Chicago
The Chicago Bears signed Nsimba Webster to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.Webster was waived as part of Chicago's final roster cuts in late August before quickly re-joining via the practice squad. The fourth-year wideout then remained idle on the practice squad before being elevated in back-to-back games Week 15 and 16, recording the first two receptions of his career over during this span. Webster has now appeared in eight games over the past two seasons for the Bears, and he'll likely compete for another depth and special-teams role heading into the 2023 season.

Nsimba Webster: Back down to practice squad
Nsimba Webster was sent down to Chicago's practice squad Monday.One week after playing the fourth-most snaps among Bears wide receivers, Webster was relegated to work on special teams, playing a total seven snaps. It's possible Webster might be elevated again in the future, but much of that will depend on the status of Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion).

Bears' Nsimba Webster: Elevated to active roster again
Chicago elevated Nsimba Webster from its practice squad to the active roster Friday ahead of Saturday's game against Buffalo, Larry Mayer of the Chicago Bears' official site reports.With Chase Claypool (knee) doubtful and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) out for Saturday's matchup, Webster will be elevated to the active roster for a second consecutive week. The undrafted wideout out of Eastern Washington caught two of three targets for 14 yards across 10 offensive snaps during last week's loss to Philadelphia, marking his first career NFL receptions. Given Chicago's depleted wideout corps, Webster figures to garner a similar role in Week 16.

Nsimba Webster: Shifts back to practice squad
Nsimba Webster reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.Webster was activated for the first time after spending the first 14 weeks of the season on the Bears' practice squad, as Chase Claypool (knee) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision) were both inactive Sunday versus Philadelphia. With starting wideout Equanimeous St. Brown forced out early with a concussion, the 5-foot-10 Webster went on to catch two of his three targets for 14 yards. However, he still played the fourth-most offensive snaps of the team's wideouts behind Byron Pringle (53), Dante Pettis (47) and Velus Jones (40). Webster will now be eligible for two more elevations from the team's practice squad, and he'll likely continue to see playing time if this banged-up receiving corps does not get healthier before Saturday's game against Buffalo.

Bears' Nsimba Webster: Records first NFL receptions
Nsimba Webster caught two passes for 14 yards in the Chicago Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.Primarily a special-teams player during this three years in the league, Webster came into this game having played just nine offensive snaps over 27 career games. If the Bears continue to have wide receivers miss games due to injury, he could continue to see snaps at receiver. Unless his role grows, his fantasy value will remain minimal.
