The Story in 60 Seconds

The Chicago Bears lost defensive end Jamree Kromah after waiving him to create a roster spot for newly acquired defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Chicago had hoped to re-sign Kromah to their practice squad after he cleared waivers, but the Miami Dolphins claimed the edge rusher instead.

Anthony Miller of Bear Goggles On argues that losing Kromah could hurt Chicago's future defensive line depth. Kromah had recorded three sacks during the preseason and logged 28 defensive snaps across two regular-season games before Miami claimed him.
