Roster moves: Bears sign two; place two on IR
Larry Mayer
Bears Senior Writer
The Bears on Saturday signed offensive lineman Corey Levin and tight end Eric Saubert and placed defensive back Sherrick McManis and tight end Adam Shaheen on injured reserve.
The Bears inked Levin, a guard/center, off the Broncos practice squad. The 6-4, 307-pounder was selected by the Titans in the sixth round of the 2018 draft out of Chattanooga and appeared in all 16 games with one start for Tennessee as a rookie. Levin was waived by the Titans during final cuts this year and claimed by the Broncos.
The Bears signed Saubert off the Raiders practice squad. He was chosen by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2017 draft out of Drake. The 6-5, 253-pounder appeared in 14 games, all as a reserve, as a rookie and then played in all 16 contests with one start, catching five passes for 48 yards, in 2018.
Saubert was traded to the Patriots Aug. 12 and waived by New England during final cuts. He subsequently signed with the Raiders and spent the first 12 weeks of the season on Oakland’s practice squad. Saubert grew up in the Chicago area, attending Hoffman Estates High School.
McManis sustained a groin injury last Sunday in a 19-14 win over the Giants. The longest tenured player on the Bears, the versatile defensive back and special-teams standout has appeared in 108 games with five starts since being acquired in a trade with the Texans on Aug. 31, 2012 in exchange for fullback Tyler Clutts.
Shaheen missed the last two games with a foot injury. He appeared in eight contests with two starts this year, catching nine passes for 74 yards. Selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2017 draft out of Ashland, Shaheen has played in 27 games with 13 starts the past three seasons, catching 26 passes for 249 yards and four touchdowns.

My big thing is our behavior.Wow... I had no idea we were that bad against top defenses. Doesn't get worse than that
Shitty D? All kinds of Prescott RPOs and aggression.
Against good D? Scared play calling.
I get that Moore is new, but I don't know what his deal is anymore.
I guess it would be nice to assume that Garrett is controlling him, but I don't want to assume that.

At times I love Kellen Moore. At others I feel like he is part of the problem.

as expected for a first year OC whose only previous experience coaching is for one year as a QB coach, the hire was a joke and I dont say that with hate toward Moore. He may prove to be great some day soon but experience matters and its absurd how quickly coaches rise up the ranks within the Dallas organization with so little experience, it speaks to the arrogance and lack of appreciation for quality coaching that comes from the GM/owner

I'd love to see him learn under a coach like Sean Payton for a couple years. I think he could be great but he has had no chance to learn from a great coach in the NFL.

I know this is crazy talk, but maybe they should have been practicing hard all along?

A-fucking-men. It's why a lot of us were against the hire in the first place.

Like everything else, Garrett is reactionary and not proactive. Any HC with a brain would've had them practicing outdoors before that NE game but Garrett only does it after he's called out for making an idiotic decision.
