The Chicago Bears have cut ties with an unnamed 6-foot-3, 268-pound pass rusher to create roster space for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, according to a report Thursday. General manager Ryan Poles is reshaping the defensive line ahead of the 2026 season. Simmons, a Pro Bowl interior lineman, would join a Bears defense looking to improve its pass rush. The move comes as Chicago evaluates its front-seven depth. No financial terms or contract details for Simmons were disclosed.
