While the expectations needed to be realistic for new wide receiver Chase Claypool as he joined the Bears in a midseason trade, their desperate need for playmakers in the passing game didn’t allow for much patience.
Claypool figures to be a big factor in the offense eventually, but had another quiet game in the Bears’ 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Justin Fields hit him for an eight-yard pass in the second quarter and didn’t throw to him again until firing incomplete with two minutes left.
