NextImg:Bears WR Chase Claypool to be inactive Sunday: report

The Bears plan to make Chase Claypool a healthy scratch Sunday, per NFL Network, two days after the wide receiver said the team wasn’t using him properly.

It will mark a new low in Claypool’s disappointing tenure with the team, which sent the eventual No. 32 overall pick to the Steelers for him last year.

Claypool shook his head no Friday when asked if the team was putting him in the best position to succeed.

“Obviously, there’s other places. You can say, ‘Oh, I want to be on the best offense with the highest passing yards,’ but that doesn’t happen in football,” he said. “You just have to make do with what you’ve got.”

Claypool drew the ire of some of his coaches and teammates for not showing enough effort in a Week 1 loss to the Packers. Before the Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, GM Ryan Poles told the ESPN1000 pregame show that the Bears expected him to make changes.

“And if he doesn’t,” Poles said, “then we’ll have to figure out what we’re going to do after that.”

The Bears figure to activate Equanimeous St Brown in his place. Coach Matt Eberflus praised his practice habits this week, and he’s known as an excellent run blocker.

The Bears will announce their inactives 90 minutes before Sunday’s noon start at Soldier Field.
