The Bears released Young (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Young was slated to miss the entire 2022 campaign after landing on IR at the end of August, but he'll now be free to join a new team once he clears his current injury. Last year, Young appeared in 17 games for Baltimore and racked up 35 tackles, two sacks and three pass defenses.

Bears' Tavon Young: Battling for role
Rotowire
Young is expected to compete for the slot corner role with rookie Thomas Graham, Brendan Sugrue of USA Today reports.
Young allowed a passer rating of 85.1 last year, which was significantly better than the veteran corners the Bears posted last year. Although he could be the favorite to win the slot corner role, in recent practices, the Bears have moved rookie Kyler Gordon into the slot when the team used three receivers. As a result, the team moved Kindle Vildor to the outside while Young moved to the sideline. So even if he's listed as the starting slot corner, Young's IDP value will hinge on whether Gordon moves to the slot on passing downs.

Rotowire
Young (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Young didn't practice Wednesday, but he was able to record back-to-back limited practices the two following days and lines up to be a game-time call for Sunday's matchup.

Ravens' Tavon Young: Goes under knife
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Young underwent successful neck surgery Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Harbaugh didn't provide any additional details, but the hope is the surgery will increase Young's chances of playing in 2020. Young has three years remaining on his contract with the Ravens, and he should have a role on defense should he get healthy.

Rotowire
Young hurt his neck over the weekend during practice and is in danger of missing the rest of the season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Ravens' Tavon Young: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Young is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to an ankle injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Ravens' Tavon Young: To be ready for OTAs
Rotowire
Young (knee) will be ready for the start of OTAs, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.
This is quietly an excellent development for Baltimore's secondary depth with Young making a speedy recovery from a torn ACL that cost him the entirety of the 2017 season. Prior to his injury, Young was poised to be the Ravens' starting nickel corner. His injury allowed Maurice Canady to take a step forward in his development, picking up significant playing time down the stretch. Young will have his work cut out for him in terms of reclaiming the starter's status he carried coming into 2017, but if he shows he hasn't lost a step, he very well could find himself as a primary nickel option in 2018.
