It only took one day for the Chicago Bears to add, then remove, wide receiver Chase Claypool from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
On Monday evening, the Bears announced they had removed Claypool from the PUP list, making him eligible to practice as the team prepares reports to training camp this week.

The Bears added Claypool to the list on Sunday afternoon, surprising fans in the process after he was seen running and cutting with quarterback Justin Fields and other teammates just a week earlier. Claypool had been dealing with a soft tissue injury near the end of mandatory minicamp that forced him to sit out of practices. Head coach Matt Eberflus indicated Claypool had been dealing with “a few things” but the expectation was always that he would be ready for the start of training camp.
Now that’s a reality and the Bears should have their full wide receiving corps ready to go when they hit the field this Wednesday. That includes new receiver Isaiah Ford, who is reportedly signing a deal with the team.
