Bears

Bears GM Ryan Poles told reporters that the team wanted to make other deals at the deadline but only made one trade, acquiring DE **Joe Tryon-Shoyinka **from the Browns.

“All I can say is we made calls across the league and I checked up on all of the guys you would imagine just to see the availability,” Poles said, via Kevin Fishbain. “We turned pretty much every stone to find those answers and then, yeah, the timing worked out where we got the extra week to see (Austin Booker) get going again, and I think it reminded us back to the momentum he had going in the preseason. You saw those flashes, and we expect those to continue to come.”

Bears GM Ben Johnson is happy with the performance of LT Darnell Wright, who could be in line for a big contract extension.

“You knew what the talent was going to be,” Johnson said of Wright, via Kevin Fishbain. “I saw it coming out of Tennessee. I loved the player coming out of Tennessee, myself. You just wondered, ‘Hey, is he going to be able to put it all together?’ I feel like (offensive line) coach (Dan) Roushar and (assistant offensive line coach) Kyle DeVan and those guys have done a really good job helping him out. I’m just really proud of how consistent (Wright’s) been from the start of the season up to this point.”
