The Bears traded Chase Claypool and a seventh-round selection to the Dolphins for a sixth-round draft pick on October 6. Clapool had an outstanding rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020. He caught for 873 yards and nine touchdowns on 62 receptions that year. Unfortunately, his career has never been the same since.

Chase Claypool never made an impact in a Bears jersey since they acquired him last fall. He had just 191 receiving yards and one touchdown on 18 receptions in a combined 10 games for the Bears. Claypool gets a fresh start with a high-octane Dolphins offense that features Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, De'Von Achane, and Raheem Mostert.

The Bears look to build on their impressive 40-20 rout of the Washington Commanders in Week 5. Chicago will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.

Will Collin Johnson eventually get a chance with the Bears' regular-season roster? Stay tuned.
