The Facts: The Bears have placed Claypool on the active/physically unable to perform list to start training camp, Field Yates of ESPN reports. As soon as Claypool passes his physical, the Bears can activate him from PUP.
Diehards Line:
Claypool had a soft tissue injury that kept him out for most of the offseason program but was working with quarterback Justin Fields and other teammates in Florida earlier this month. HC Matt Eberflus said last month that Claypool was dealing with “a few things” but expected the receiver to be ready for camp. In seven game appearances with Chicago after the trade from Pittsburgh, Claypool caught only 14 passes for 140 yards. The Bears added D.J. Moore this offseason and also have Darnell Mooney in the receivers room.
