The Chicago Bears are releasing wide receiver Victor Cruz, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.
Cruz's stay with the Bears was brief, as Chicago inked the veteran wideout to a one-year deal back in May. The 30-year-old posted 3,626 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns for the New York Giants over a three-year stretch, but struggled to regain his form in 2016 after missing most of 2014 with a serious knee injury and all of 2015 with a calf ailment.
Cruz also suffered a knee injury in Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He recorded six receptions and one touchdown during the preseason for the Bears.
