Bears Cut 10, Including FB Darrel Young
The Bears have trimmed their roster to 80 by cutting 10 players, the club announced today. Chicago will need need to waive or release five more players before Tuesday’s cutdown deadline.
The Bears cut the following 10 players:

- Derek Keaton, WR
- John Kling, OL
- Senorise Perry, RB
- Darrin Peterson, WR

Young, 29, is the most experienced of the bunch, as he’s appeared in 90 games during his six-year career (all with the Redskins). Young was just signed earlier this month, but it appears that 2015 UDFA Paul Lasike has won Chicago’s fullback job.
