The Chicago Bears continue to trim their roster to 53 players ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the Bears are waiving defensive tackle Bravvion Roy. Chicago claimed Roy off waivers earlier this summer.
Roy, a former sixth-round pick out of Baylor, has played 45 games, including 15 starts, in three seasons with the Panthers. With Carolina transitioning to a 3-4 defense this offseason, there wasn’t a need for additional depth along the interior.

Last season, Roy totaled 17 tackles, four pressures and five stops in 13 games, including four starts. He earned a PFF run defense grade of 48.6 and pass rush grade of 60.9 in 2022.
While Roy is an experienced nose tackle, the Bears appear to be set at defensive tackle with Justin Jones, Andrew Billings and rookies Gervon Dexter Sr. and Zacch Pickens.
