Bears’ initial 53-man roster: Who made the cut at each position?

The Chicago Bears have finalized their initial 53-man roster, which includes some surprises across multiple position groups.

There were some surprising cuts, including defensive linemen Mario Edwards and Trevon Coley, offensive lineman Michael Schofield and cornerback Thomas Graham Jr., as well as some surprising names who made the cut.

Veteran cornerback Tavon Young was placed on injured reserve, which means he’ll be eligible to return in Week 5.

Keep in mind, this initial 53-man roster is subject to change as waiver wire claims are made and other players are moved around, including wide receiver N’Keal Harry expected to be moved to IR.

But here’s a look at where the Bears’ 53-man roster stands now, by position:
