  Bears | Dante Pettis goes on IR    Fri Aug 25, 03:03 PM

Chicago Bears WR Dante Pettis (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Aug. 25.

Footballguys view: The Bears are shutting down Pettis before the start of the season. With Pettis out of action, the chances are better for a guy like Velus Jones to make the 53-man roster.

Chicago Bears WR Dante Pettis (undisclosed) passed his physical Wednesday, Aug. 9, and has been activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury list.

Footballguys view: Good timing for the Bears here. Chase Claypool just got banged up (again) with a hamstring injury. Pettis has plenty of speed and if healthy can be tasked with taking the top off the defense.

  Bears | Dante Pettis could return to team    Sat Jan 28, 07:37 PM

Chicago Bears impending free-agent WR Dante Pettis could be re-signed by the Bears this offseason because of his success as a punt returner, in the opinion of BearsWire's Brendan Sugrue.

Footballguys view: Pettis doesn't do much as a receiver, and he only had 19 catches for 245 yards and three touchdowns this season. He could get some interest on the open market, but it might make sense for both sides to get something done that keeps him in Chicago.

  Bears | Week 13 injury report for Chicago    Fri Dec 2, 02:41 PM

Chicago Bears OT Larry Borom (ankle, knee), S Jaquan Brisker (concussion), CB Kyler Gordon (concussion) and QB Trevor Siemian (oblique) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. OT Riley Reiff (back) and CB Kindle Vildor (ankle) were upgraded to a full practice Friday, Dec. 2, but are listed as questionable. WR Chase Claypool (knee), QB Justin Fields (shoulder), WR Dante Pettis (illness) and LB Sterling Weatherford (concussion) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report.

Footballguys view: Justin Fields will get the start this week. It's not clear if the team will lighten his workload as a runner to protect his injured shoulder. He's a boom/bust play, with less appeal now that Darnell Mooney is on injured reserve.

  Bears | Dante Pettis signs with Bears    Wed May 11, 08:34 PM

Free-agent WR Dante Pettis (Giants) signed with the Chicago Bears Wednesday, May 11. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Pettis has only appeared in 10 games over the last two seasons. A shoulder problem in November landed him on Injured Reserve and now he gets another fresh start. The Bears are a good landing spot for Pettis as they need as much help as they can get at the wide receiver position.

Former San Francisco 49ers WR Dante Pettis was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants Wednesday, Nov. 4, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Pettis has talent but he fell out of favor with the 49ers staff. Rumblings of poor practice habits and work ethic swirled around Pettis for the last year or so. We'll see if a fresh start works out for the young receiver.
