The Chicago Bears announced an important roster move at wide receiver Wednesday afternoon. The Bears have recently seen a few pass catchers deal with injuries. The team will finally have an additional body on the practice field soon.

The Bears have placed two tight ends on injured reserve in the past week. Chase Claypool went to the sideline during Wednesday’s practice after favoring his hamstring.

We’ll see how Pettis can do on this year’s wide receiver roster. The Bears signed him to a one-year deal in January after having an okay season in 2022. But the Bears’ wide receiver has improved from last season.

Pettis is listed as a third-string wide receiver for the Bears.
