Beanie Bishop Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Reaches injury settlement with Chicago The Bears waived Bishop (undisclosed/suspension) from injured reserve Wednesday with an injury settlement, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Impact Bishop reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list on Aug. 31 after he cleared waivers. The cornerback is still suspended for the first four games of the 2026 season, but he is now a free agent able to sign with any organization once he regains his health.

Moved to injured reserve Bishop (suspension) reverted to the Bear's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact The move to IR means Bishop will be forced to miss the whole 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Chicago. If he signs with another team, then Bishop will be required to miss three games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Waived with injury designation Bishop (suspension) was waived by the Bears with an injury designation Sunday.

Impact Bishop is already set to miss the first three weeks of the 2026 campaign while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. The cornerback is now dealing with an apparent injury as well, and if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with the Bears.

Signs with Chicago The Bears signed Bishop (suspension) to a contract Sunday.

Impact 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).

Done in New Orleans The Saints waived Bishop on Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Bishop was issued a suspension for the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substances of abuse policy back in March, and now he's on his way out of New Orleans. He'll become an unrestricted free agent unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period.

Suspended three games The NFL has suspended Bishop for the first three games of the 2026 regular season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The league didn't mention the reason for the suspension in its announcement, but Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that it was for a violation of the NFL's substances of abuse policy. Bishop will still be able to participate in offseason activities and preseason contests, but he won't be able to suit up for the first three games of the 2026 season. He had a significant role for the Steelers as a rookie in 2024 but didn't see any NFL action last year, spending the campaign between the Steelers' and Saints' practice squads.
