Both players were cut loose late last week as the Bears added a few receivers to their active roster. Fales passed through waivers unclaimed on Monday, so there was a strong possibility that he would end up on their practice squad some time soon.
Chicago used aย sixth-round pick onย Fales a few months ago and have said publicly that they look forward to developing him in the coming years.
Fiammetta, 28, is a formerย fourth-roundย selection of the Panthers. He had brief stints with the Patriots and Cowboys before signing with the Bears in June of last year. Chicago signed him to a two-year contract last December.
In 2013, Fiammetta appeared in all 16 games and caught four passes for 57 yards receiving.
