Misses 53-man roster Newsome was waived by the Bears on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The rookie sixth-round pick apparently didn't show enough over the past few months to warrant a spot on Chicago's initial 53-man roster. The Bears hope to bring back Newsome via the practice squad, but he'll first need to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Catches first NFL pass Newsome caught one pass for seven yards in the Bears' 41-15 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday.
Impact After being selected in the first round of this year's draft, Newsome made his Chicago debut and caught his only target while playing with the backups. He's competing for a roster spot, and there's a good chance he sees significant action in next week's final final preseason game next week to determine his status going into the season.

Looking sharp in practice Newsome (collarbone) took a short catch for a long gain during Thursday's practice, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact The rookie sixth-round pick opened training camp on the PUP list and has been eased into practice, but it looks like he's on track to play this preseason, even if it doesn't happen in Saturday's opener against Miami. Newsome is hoping to win a back-end roster spot and isn't likely to have a significant role on offense early in the year

Coming off PUP Newsome (collarbone) will be removed from the PUP list for a limited practice Monday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact The rookie sixth-round pick will get back on the field exactly two months after his initial injury, falling right in line with the recovery timeline. Newsome should have plenty of time to prepare for Week 1, but that doesn't mean he'll earn a significant role... or even a roster spot. He'll still have his work cut out for him.

Lands on PUP list Newsome (collarbone) was placed on the preseason PUP list Sunday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Impact The rookie sixth-round pick was ruled out for two months after suffering a broken collarbone in early June, so it's not much of a surprise he'll open camp on the PUP list. Assuming he avoids any setbacks, Newsome should be healthy sometime in early-to-mid August as he attempts to secure a spot on the season-opening roster.

Out for two months Newsome suffered a fractured collarbone during Tuesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Newsome reportedly had a "clean" break, which means the rookie sixth-round pick is facing an eight-week estimated recovery timeline. He suffered the injury 10 and a half weeks before the Bears' first preseason game, so it's possible the setback doesn't have much impact on his bid to earn a roster spot and a role within the Chicago offense. He caught 188 passes for 2,435 yards and 18 touchdowns over his four seasons at North Carolina, peaking in 2019 with a 72-1,018-10 receiving line in 12 games.
