What happened: The Bears activated tackle Ozzy Trapilo off the physically-unable-to-perform list and waived three players with injury settlements. The moves clear practice-squad and roster spots as the team works toward its final camp numbers.

Why it matters: Trapilo's activation returns a tackle to practice reps after he ruptured his patellar tendon during January's playoffs. The three injury-settlement waivers signal those players will not factor into Chicago's 2026 roster plans.

What to watch: Watch for Trapilo's practice workload to build toward game readiness and for the Bears' next round of roster cuts.
