Windy City Gridiron
The Chicago Bears have set their initial 53-man roster for the 2025 season. Waivers process on Wednesday, so if the Bears claimed any players, they’ll need to make a corresponding move.

Just like last year, teams can put up to two players on injured reserve with a designation to return without having to put them on the active 53-man roster first. Teams are allowed to designate eight total players to return during the regular season, with two additional returns in the postseason.
We’ll update our Chicago Bears 53-man roster all year long as moves are made, so bookmark it so you always know where the team stands.
