The Bears waived cornerback Tre Roberson with a non-football injury Tuesday. Sources said he was hurt while training in anticipation of the season.
In January, the Bears signed Roberson, a one-time Illinois State quarterback who later switched positions, after he emerged as a Canadian Football League standout. An undrafted free agent with the Vikings in 2016, he spent two years with the Calgary Stampeders, where he posted 10 interceptions and 95 tackles. He won the Grey Cup, the CFL’s equivalent of the Super Bowl, in 2018.
They later signed Artie Burns and drafted Jaylon Johnson to challenge for the starting job. Johnson , a second-round pick from Utah, is the favorite.
