The Bears have informed veteran offensive lineman Dan Buenning, who they traded for at this point last year, that he will be released.
This move likely increases the chance that seventh-round pick Lance Louis will make the team. Louis was used at left tackle during training camp and preseason but probably projects as a guard.
The Bears have also informed center Donovan Raiola, a college teammate of Buenning’s at Wisconsin, that he will be placed on waivers. There is a chance Raiola could return on the practice squad.
UPDATED: The Bears have also informed fullback Jason Davis he will be released.
UPDATED II: The Bears have also informed defensive end Joe Clermond he will be released. He could also return on the practice squad.
