Chicago Bears roster cuts present critical decisions for head coach Ben Johnson and the front office as the team finalizes its 53-man roster ahead of the regular season, according to reports from AtoZ Sports. Players competing for their professional futures face final evaluations following the preseason finale at Soldier Field.
Kiran Amegadjie Faces Uncertain Future Following Preseason Evaluation
The Bears drafted Amegadjie out of Yale despite a torn quad, banking on his physical upside and developmental traits. However, when given the opportunity to start while Braxton Jones was sidelined earlier in the preseason, Amegadjie failed to seize the job.
With veteran offensive lineman Jedrick Wills Jr. on the roster—bringing first-round pedigree and a solid recovery from a significant injury—the path to the active roster has narrowed significantly for Amegadjie. Fully healthy throughout camp, he was unable to lock down a permanent role, making his future in Chicago increasingly precarious.
JP Richardson and the Wide Receiver Battle
After joining the team as an undrafted free agent, Richardson flashed potential during previous preseasons but now contends with rising competition.

Rookies and developmental targets like Kaden Davis and Jahdae Walker have impressed coaches, while seasoned veterans such as Scotty Miller and Ray-Ray McCloud provide reliable depth for a roster built around high expectations. Maurice Alexander also commands attention due to his special teams utility and familiarity with the coaching staff, leaving Richardson’s immediate future with the franchise in doubt.
