JESPER HORSTED
Considered questionable Horsted (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Impact Horstead logged a full workload at each practice this week, so he is certainly trending in the right direction Sunday. With Jesse James (personal) and J.P. Holtz (quadriceps) sidelined, Horsted would be the No. 3 tight end behind Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham should he ultimately get the green light.

Three TDs in huge performance Horsted caught all five of his targets for 104 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Titans.
Impact The full extent of the 24-year-old's NFL resume is six games for the Bears in 2019, during which he caught only eight passes, but Horsted looked like Jimmy Graham in his prime Saturday. He displayed exceptional hands in grabbing a 20-yard pass from Justin Fields along the sideline between two defenders in the first half for his initial TD, and then the tight end topped himself in the second half by making a spectacular one-handed catch down the seam on a toss from Nick Foles before turning on the jets for a 54-yard score. In between, he brought home a six-yard touchdown from Foles on a slant route. Holsted still seems like a long shot for a 53-man roster spot given the Bears' depth at TE -- Graham, second-year man Cole Kmet and veteran Jesse James all seem like locks -- but this performance might give the coaching staff something to think about, as his size and skills could allow him to fill the same kind of move tight end/H-back role in Matt Nagy's scheme that Trey Burton turned into 569 yards and six TDs back in 2018.

Secures future deal with Bears The Bears signed Horsted to a reserve/future contract on Monday.
Impact Horsted appeared in six games with Chicago during the 2019 season, catching eight of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The tight end reverted to the practice squad after his NFL debut, but Horsted will strive for an opportunity to see more game action in 2021.

Shifts to waivers The Bears waived Horsted on Saturday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Horsted came in handy last season when the Bears' tight-end depth took a hit, as he played in six games and caught eight of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Bears brought in reinforcements at tight end this offseason, though, signing Jimmy Graham and drafting Cole Kmet in the second round, so Horsted will look for a new opportunity elsewhere.
