• Bears' Beanie Bishop: Signs with Chicago

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2026

  The Bears signed Bishop (suspension) to a contract Sunday. Bishop finds a new home with the Bears shortly after being waived by the Saints in late July. The cornerback is set to miss the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy back in March. Bishop's suspension does not prohibit him from practicing or playing during the preseason, so he may see some action due to the injuries to Coby Bryant (knee), Cam Lewis (leg), Elijah Hicks (shin), Kyler Gordon (calf) and Terell Smith (knee).

Bishop will still be able to participate in offseason activities and preseason contests.

• Steelers' Beanie Bishop: Makes big impact as rookie

  Rotowire Jan 21, 2025

  Bishop tallied 45 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, along with seven pass defenses (four of which were interceptions) and one fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games in 2024. Though Bishop had his share of struggles, it was impressive that he played in all 17 regular-season games given that he wasn't selected in April's NFL Draft. The West Virginia product notched three pickoffs during a two-week span in late October, and his four total INTs tied for second on the team. Bishop did see his playing time wane at the end of the campaign and into the playoffs, but he likely showed enough as a rookie to be given a chance to grow in Year 2.

• Steelers' Beanie Bishop: Works with first team

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2024

  Bishop saw most of the reps at nickel with the Steelers' first-team defense Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Josiah Scott seemed to be the Steelers' top nickel during OTAs, but it now appears that Bishop has passed Scott on the team's depth chart. Bishop, an undrafted rookie cornerback out of West Virginia, could have the opportunity to make an immediate impact for a Pittsburgh secondary that was middle-of-the-pack in 2023 (16th in passing yards allowed per game).
