Tanoh Kpassagnon - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Done in Chicago Chicago released Kpassagnon on Friday.

Impact Kpassagnon had been mixing in fairly regularly on the defensive line prior to the Bears' bye in Week 5, but now he's becoming a free agent, possibly because the team expects 2024 fifth-rounder Austin Booker to make his 2025 regular-season debut in Week 7. In any case, Kpassagnon will now have to look for another opportunity with a different club.
