Chicago Bears to waive injured LB Buddy Johnson, then proceed to sign LB Davion Taylor
After a joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts last night, the Chicago Bears will plan for another one this evening, before playing the Colts this weekend. Hopefully, this will get the team into shape before the long regular season begins, where they’ve been predicted to do much better than last season.
Roster moves happen almost daily around this time of the year, and today a few more happened regarding the linebacker situation. They’ve released injured linebacker Buddy Johnson to make room for a new linebacker, Davion Taylor, a former third-round pick.

Taylor is a former member of the Philadelphia Eagles as he spent most of the last two years with the team. He’s also been plagued with injuries during his short stint in the NFL and was a part of the Eagles practice squad during the 2022 season. He appeared in 21 games in the previous two seasons.
The marry-go-round of linebackers continues for the Chicago Bears, as they’ve tried out many over the past few weeks. Hopefully this isn’t a bad sign for the newly signed Tremaine Edmunds, who has missed lots of practice during training camp.
