The Chicago Bears officially released WR Tajae Sharpe from injured reserve with a settlement on Friday, per the NFL transactions wire.

Sharpe, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Titans back in 2016. He finished the final year of his four-year, $2.61 million rookie contract when he agreed to a one-year contract with the Vikings. 

However, Minnesota waived Sharpe during the season and he eventually signed on to the Chiefs’ practice squad. Kansas City later re-signed him, but was ultimately released and signed on with the Bears back in May. 

In 2021, Sharpe appeared in 15 games for the Falcons and hauled in 25 passes for 230 yards and no touchdowns.
