Rotowire
Bray was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bray appeared in one game for Chicago in 2020 and has now managed to find a new team at the end of 2021. He'll provide depth at quarterback with Jimmy Garoppolo dealing with a UCL sprain of his right thumb.

Tyler Bray: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Bray reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Bray backed up Mitchell Trubisky on Sunday Night Football, as Nick Foles (hip) was inactive for the road trip to Green Bay. Foles didn't practice at all last week because of a hip pointer, leaving the door open for Bray to potentially suit up again Week 13 against the Darrell Bevell-led Lions.

Tyler Bray: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Bray reverted to the Bears' practice squad after Monday's 19-13 loss to the Vikings, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The 27-year-old was elevated to the active roster for Monday's contest and ended up having to take over during the final minute after Nick Foles (hip) was carted off the field. Bray completed one of five passes for 18 yards. Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is also dealing with an injury, but Chicago's bye this week will provide some extra time for the team to evaluate the situation. Bray is a strong bet to join the active roster again for Week 12 if Foles' and/or Trubisky's statuses remain in doubt.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Enters after Foles' injury
Rotowire
Bray completed one of five passes for 18 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Bray entered the game in the last minute after Nick Foles was carted off the field, and his only connection was on a screen pass to Ryan Nall. With Chicago going into their bye week, Bray could see action at Green Bay if Foles is unable to play and if Mitch Trubisky remains sidelined with his shoulder injury. In the event Bray draws a start, he'd be an emergency option in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Jumps to active roster
Rotowire
The Bears elevated Bray to the active roster Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
This is Bray's second time being elevated as a COVID-19 replacement, and a contract with the 53-man roster could be imminent, especially if Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is expected to miss more than one game. Nevertheless, he'll serve as Nick Foles' backup in Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
The Bears elevated Bray to the active roster Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Don't read into this move as having anything to do with Mitchell Trubisky's dropoff. According to Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago, Bray is expected to serve as the No. 3 quarterback Sunday versus the Colts, and he'll likely be a healthy scratch.

Tyler Bray: Not retained by Chicago
Rotowire
Bray was released by the Bears on Saturday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Bray wasn't going to see the field in Chicago after the team traded for Nick Foles this offseason, but after spending the entire training camp with the Bears, he may be called upon to serve as a backup if either quarterback is injured.

Tyler Bray: Likely heading to practice squad
Rotowire
The Bears cut Bray on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
This move supports the notion that Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) will be ready for Week 7's game versus the Saints. Bray will likely return to the Bears' practice squad, and he could be brought back up if Trubisky suffers a setback.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Officially signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Bears promoted Bray to the active roster Saturday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
This move was expected since Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Raiders and likely a few more after that. Bray hasn't played in a game since 2017 with the Chiefs, and he only has one NFL passing attempt, which ended up incomplete. Bray will serve as the backup to Chase Daniel.

Tyler Bray: Unable to stick in Chicago
Rotowire
The Bears cut Bray on Saturday, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Bray was underwhelming during the preseason, completing 15 of 30 passes for 138 yards in his appearances. He was a longshot to beat out Chase Daniel for the backup job, so Bray could be a candidate for the practice squad in Chicago or elsewhere.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Unimpressive effort
Rotowire
Bray completed nine of 17 passes for 85 yards in Chicago's 23-13 preseason loss to the Panthers on Thursday.
Despite playing the entire second half against the deepest reserves on the Panthers, Bray completed less than half of his passes. This performance didn't help if he was trying to take over Chase Daniel's job as the No. 2 quarterback, and it looks like the veteran will likely continue his role as the third-string signal-caller for the Bears.

Tyler Bray: Staying in Chicago
Rotowire
Bray signed a one-year deal with the Bears on Wednesday.
Bray spent most of 2018 on the Chicago practice squad, eventually earning a promotion to the active roster when Mitchell Trubisky injured his shoulder in November. With backup quarterback Chase Daniel still under contract, Bray figures to enter training camp as the No. 3 signal-caller.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
The Bears signed Bray off their practice squad Wednesday.
The roster move provides another hint that Chase Daniel will replace the injured Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) as the team's starting quarterback Thursday in Detroit. The 26-year-old Bray previously worked with coach Matt Nagy from 2014 to 2017, mostly serving as the No. 3 quarterback in Kansas City. Bray has attempted just one pass in an NFL regular-season game.

Bears' Tyler Bray: Lands one-year deal with Chicago
Rotowire
Bray signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Friday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Bray has spent his entire five-year career as a backup with Kansas City and will now follow ex-Chiefs offensive coordinator and current Bears head coach Matt Nagy to Chicago. He'll initially slot in as the third quarterback behind Mitchell Trubisky and Chase Daniel.

Chiefs' Tyler Bray: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Bray (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Bray has been third on the depth chart at quarterback behind Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes all season, and that's unlikely to change barring an injury to one of the two players. As a result, look for Bray to remain a fixture on the inactive list until further notice.

Chiefs' Tyler Bray: Will play fourth quarter Saturday
Rotowire
Bray will quarterback during the fourth quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports.
Bray completed five of eight passes for 63 yards and an interception during the Chiefs' preseason opener against the 49ers, while Patrick Mahomes outplayed him with seven completions on nine pass attempts for 49 yards and a score. Alex Smith and the first team will play the first half Saturday, with Mahomes stepping in for the third quarter. This may indicate the rookie having surpassed Bray in the battle for the backup job behind Smith.

Chiefs' Tyler Bray: Will play second quarter Friday
Rotowire
Bray will quarterback during the second quarter of Friday's preseason opener against the 49ers, Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com reports.
Bray is currently one spot ahead of 10th overall pick Pat Mahomes in the pecking order at quarterback, while veteran Alex Smith is slated to start and play throughout the entire first quarter Friday. Bray has yet to see regular-season action in the NFL, however, so Mahomes' upside figures to eventually allow for the rookie to surpass Bray on the depth chart.

Chiefs' Tyler Bray: Starts preseason finale, may make roster
Rotowire
Bray started the Chiefs' preseason finale Thursday against the Packers, completing 10 of 17 passes for 104 yards.
Bray didn't throw a touchdown pass or commit a turnover, posting a rather vanilla effort in his run. Still, he appears to have an inside track as the No. 3 quarterback following the news that Aaron Murray is on the trading block. Even if he makes the roster, it would take injuries to both Alex Smith and Nick Foles for Bray to see meaningful snaps.
