Most significant move: Putting Pernell McPhee on the physically unable to perform list.
Most surprising move: Waiving veteran receiver Marc Mariani.
Rookie class: Seventh-round pick Daniel Braverman had several positive moments on the practice field, but he looked indecisive on special teams. The third phase is what often determines the bottom of the 53-man roster, and Braverman never thrived as a return man. Braverman appears destined for the practice squad, if he clears waivers. The same holds true for undrafted Harvard tight end Ben Braunecker. Fourth-round pick Nick Kwiatkoski played well in his only preseason action against the Browns, and stuck on the 53, despite sitting much of camp because of a strained hamstring.
DJ Khaled: The Bears' decision to release veteran center Khaled Holmes is a vote of confidence for Cornelius Edison, who spent a chunk of the preseason working with the starters.
Bears moves: Receiver B.J. Daniels, cornerback Kevin Peterson, offensive lineman Khaled Holmes, offensive lineman Garry Williams, defensive linemanTerry Williams, offensive lineman Shelley Smith, linebacker Danny Mason(waived injured), receiver Daniel Braverman, long snapper Patrick Scales, offensive lineman Jason Weaver, tight end Tony Moeaki, receiver Marc Mariani, running back Jacquizz Rodgers, linebacker John Timu, tight end Ben Braunecker, cornerback DeVante Bausby, tight end Rob Housler, quarterbackDavid Fales, DL Ego Ferguson (waived/injured), cornerback Taveze Calhoun, Pernell McPhee (PUP) and Marquess Wilson (PUP).
