Bears release reserve quarterback Trevor Siemian

75756A5E-120A-4932-810C-2FD980DB785E

(670 The Score) In a move that came as no surprise, the Bears released reserve quarterback Trevor Siemian on Thursday afternoon.

Chicago parted ways with Siemian on the same day that it announced the addition of quarterback P.J. Walker on a two-year deal. Walker will back up starting quarterback Justin Fields.

Siemian, 31, appeared in two games for Chicago in 2022. He started one, going 14-of-25 for 179 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Jets on Nov. 27. Siemian played through an oblique injury in that game and later had season-ending surgery to address the issue.
