LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have
released veteran safety Chris Harris after he asked for a trade, ending his
second run with the team.
Harris started in the Bears' 24-18 victory over
Tampa Bay in London on Sunday with Major Wright nursing a hip injury. He had
been benched for the Bears' win over Minnesota the previous week.
That led to him requesting to be dealt, something
that did not happen before the trade deadline. Harris had missed three games
with a hamstring injury and struggled in a Monday night loss to Detroit before
that Vikings game.
The Bears announced the move on Thursday.
Harris was in his second stint with the Bears after
being traded back from Carolina last year.
