  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Healthy scratch versus Giants

    Sowell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Sowell appears to have been usurped by Jesper Horsted as the No. 3 tight end on Chicago's roster. He's only recorded one catch in his career, so Sowell's status doesn't carry much of a fantasy impact.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Returns to Chicago

    Sowell re-signed with the Bears on Monday.

  • Bradley Sowell: Cut by Chicago

    Sowell was released by the Bears on Saturday.

    Sowell has been a frequent cut candidate when the team needs depth elsewhere, as the tight end has been released multiple times this season alone. Assume the 30-year-old will continue to ping pong between waivers and the active roster for subsequent weeks.

  • Bradley Sowell: Let go by Bears

    The Bears released Sowell on Saturday.

    The Bears needed a backup quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, so they promoted Tyler Bray from the practice squad and Sowell was the roster casualty. Sowell suited up in two games for the Bears this year and didn't garner a target. If he doesn't sign with another team, Sowell is a solid candidate for the practice squad.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Re-ups with Bears

    Sowell signed a contract with the Bears on Tuesday.

    Sowell rejoins the club after being waived Saturday in a set of roster moves. The 30-year-old logged just 11 snaps on offense in the first two games of the season and he hasn't seen the field since. Sowell will likely be limited to his depth role again moving forward.

  • Bradley Sowell: Let go by Bears

    The Bears waived Sowell on Saturday, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Sowell just signed with the Bears on Thursday, but the team needs depth at defensive end more than tight end since Bilal Nichols (hand) is ruled out and Akiem Hicks (knee) is questionable.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Rejoins Bears

    Sowell signed a contract with the Bears on Thursday.

  • Bradley Sowell: Let go by Chicago

    Sowell was waived by the Bears on Monday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Sowell played 12 snaps on offense during Chicago's first two games, but he ultimately didn't manage to stick to the 53-man roster. The 30-year-old veteran will look to catch on as a depth piece elsewhere in the league.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Transitioning to tight end

    Sowell is transitioning from offensive tackle to tight end during the Bears' offseason program, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Sowell was given a new jersey number in light of the position change and will presumably compete for a role as an in-line specialist behind Adam Shaheen. He won't offer much upside as a pass catcher in that capacity, though Sowell could catch the occasional goal-line touchdown like he did in Week 14 against the Rams last season.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Healthy for Week 1

    Sowell (ankle) is not on Tuesday's injury report, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Sowell reportedly logged 51 offensive snaps in the Bears' final preseason game despite being bothered by an ankle sprain. Given that his name isn't on the injury report Tuesday, all signs point to him being available as a reserve tackle for the regular-season opener Sunday against the Packers.

He's expected to be the Bears' starting left guard, but he's now dealing with an ankle sprain coming out of the contest, making his status heading into the practice week for the regular-season opener worth monitoring.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Dealing with ankle sprain

    Sowell is dealing with a sprained ankle, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Coach Matt Nagy hasn't provided much detail outside of the preliminary diagnosis of an ankle sprain. The nature of ankle sprains can be somewhat tricky and they vary in degree and severity. More should come out on Sowell in the coming days.

  • Bears' Bradley Sowell: Exits with left leg injury

    Sowell (leg) departed Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs early due to a left leg injury, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Sowell is expected to be a valuable member of the Bears' offensive line this season as a swing tackle who can also play guard, so a long-term injury could have implications on some packages. More information on his status could surface in the coming days.
