Dontae Manning: Waived with injury designation
Rotowire
Manning (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation by the Bears on Sunday.
Manning recorded 11 total tackles (nine solo) during the preseason, but it appears as if the cornerback picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. If the 24-year-old clears waivers, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with Chicago. If that is the case, Manning would have to reach an injury settlement with the Bears to have a chance to play during the 2026 campaign.
