Four moves before Philadelphia
Daly is the only player in the announcement moving directly onto the active roster. Gardner, the long snapper previously occupying that roster spot, was waived. McCloud joins the practice squad, and Hergel was released from it.
The transaction report does not announce a starting-lineup change or connect the moves to the quarterback situation. Chicago's quarterback status remains a separate story after Caleb Williams was listed as week to week with a hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent entered concussion protocol.
Monday's game against the Eagles is at Soldier Field. The four transactions give the Bears a small personnel reset before the next injury report and the final preparations for Week 3.
