Bears waive Thyrick Pitts, sign TE Jared Pinkney

The Bears have made some roster moves as the second week of training camp begins.

The Chicago Bears have made some adjustments to their roster ahead of the second week of training camp at Halas Hall.

The team announced that they’ve waived wide receiver Thyrick Pitts and signed tight end Jared Pinkney.

Pinkney was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. He played in four games for the Los Angeles Rams last season and two games for the Detroit Lions in 2021.

Pitts was signed by the Bears as an undrafted rookie out of Delaware this offseason.

The Bears now have six tight ends on the roster: Cole Kmet, Robert Tonyan, Jake Tonges, Chase Allen, Stephen Carlson and Pinkney.

Chicago returns to practice on Monday morning with pads slated to come on later this week.
