WindyCity 1,401 Posted August 13 (edited) Emmanual Hall released. I would be surprised if he didn’t end up on IR after a surgery in the offseason. Edited August 13 by WindyCity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically he was waived, per @BearsPR. I believe if he clears waivers then he can revert back to IR. I’d expect both things to happen with that being formalized by tomorrow.

G08 712 Posted August 13 I thought since he signed with us we had his "rights". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZBearsFan 913 Posted August 13 From the comments today and “sourced” stuff it doesn’t sound like it’s a given that Hall ends up on IR even if he clears waivers. My gut still says he does. Guess we’ll see tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When a HC says it's a numbers game to me that sounds like they've eliminated E. Hall from contention as far as even being placed on the PS. He's hurt and others have shown up in camp they like more including Marvin Hall and a couple of the UDFA. Even with the PS spots there's only so many you can devote to WRs.

If Bears weren't going to IR him I don't know why they recruited and signed him. They knew he was hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Bears weren't going to IR him I don't know why they recruited and signed him. They knew he was hurt. There seem to be enough other teams hurting for WRs that someone will probably pick him up. That may have been the whole idea behind letting him go now so he can latch on elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
