Let go with injury settlement
The Bears dropped Pettis (undisclosed) from injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury settlement allows Pettis to sign with another team once he is recovered from whatever is ailing him. The 2018 second-round pick missed all of last season due to a back injury he sustained during training camp. Pettis appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2022, and he finished with 19 catches (on 41 targets) for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Entering his sixth year in the league, Pettis hasn't come close to reaching the 27 receptions, 465 total yards and five touchdowns he had as a rookie with the 49ers in 2018. However, in his first year with the Bears last season, his 282 yards and three TDs represented his best production in a campaign since then. Regardless, Pettis' track record indicates he'll remain a depth receiver in 2023. He's expected to compete for a reserve role with Equanimeous St. Brown, Tyler Scott and Velus Jones behind DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Battling to make cut
Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today pegs Pettis and Tajae Sharpe as the favorites to grab the last two wide receiver spots for the Bears.
ANALYSIS
If Chicago opts to infuse more youth on the back end of the roster, one of these veterans would likely be let go to make room, so it will be important for Pettis to have a productive training camp and preseason. He caught 10 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown as a member of the Giants last season.
