Player Notes
Todd Collins, QB Wednesday 9/8, 8:17 AM CT
Todd Collins is listed as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback, according to the National Football Post's Brad Biggs.

Our View: He beat out Caleb Hanie for the right to back up Jay Cutler. Still, Cutler has been durable throughout his career thus far.
Tim Shaw, LB Sunday 9/5, 12:27 PM CT
The Titans have claimed linebacker Tim Shaw off waivers from the Bears, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

Our View: Shaw's relevant because he set a Bears record with 30 special teams tackles in 2009. The Titans don't have much name recognition at linebacker, but Shaw should once again be a kick coverage guy at best.
Jay Cutler, QB Thursday 9/2, 2:24 PM CT
Jay Cutler will not play in the Bears' final preseason game on Thursday evening, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View: It's customary for starters to skip the final game of the preseason, but considering how poorly Cutler has played this summer, he could likely use the extra reps. Heading into Chicago's Week 1 game against the Lions, he remains a mystery.
Brandon Minor, RB Wednesday 9/1, 6:02 PM CT
The Bears waived running back Brandon Minor Wednesday, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

Our View: Minor was waived and center Edwin Williams was claimed. Minor isn't expected to draw much interest from other teams, and he wouldn't have earned much attention in the Bears backfield, either.
