Alex Leatherwood News
The Chicago Bears released former first-round offensive guard Alex Leatherwood on Sunday, according to a source. The Las Vegas Raiders took Leatherwood with the 17th overall pick in the 2021 draft out of Alabama. He made it one season in Vegas before being cut and claimed by the Bears. But Leatherwood only played in four games in 2022 and now finds himself back on the open market. The 24-year-old will be hoping to latch on with another organization as offensive-line depth for the 2023 regular season, but he's going to need to improve quickly if he wants to continue his NFL career.
The Chicago Bears activated former Las Vegas Raiders first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood from the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list on Friday, and he should make his season debut in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 23-year-old won't start in his first game for the Bears, but they're hoping he can provide valuable depth for their offensive line moving forward. Leatherwood was taken with the 17th overall pick by the Raiders in 2021 out of Alabama, but he didn't work out for them in his 17 starts as a rookie.
The Chicago Bears placed former first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood (illness) on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, putting him out for at least the next four weeks. Leatherwood is dealing with mononucleosis, but head coach Matt Eberflus said, "We feel great about where he is and him coming back." The 23-year-old was inactive in the Week 1 season-opening win over the San Francisco 49ers, and he won't make his NFL debut for at least another four weeks. Leatherwood started all 17 games at right tackle as a rookie in 2021 with the Las Vegas Raiders, but he wasn't very good and was cut by Las Vegas last month. The Bears will sign Michael Schofield to take Leatherwood's spot on the roster.
