Bears Tried Out Eight Players

According to Aaron Wilson, the Bears brought in eight players for workouts on Tuesday. 

The full list includes:

1. QB Taylor Cornelius
2. WR Devonte Dedmond
3. WR Brayden Dickey
4. WR Bailey Gaither
5. WR Malik Henry
6. TE Bucky Hodges
7. G Chad Slade
8. G Willie Wright

Slade, 28, originally signed on with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Auburn back in 2015. After spending four years with Houston, mainly on the practice squad, Slade signed a futures/reserve contract with the Giants in 2019.

New York waived Slade coming out of the preseason before re-signing him to their practice squad soon after. He was among the Giants’ final roster cuts coming out of this year’s preseason. 

In 2017, Slade appeared in five games for the Texans, making three starts.
