Bears Announce Two Practice Squad Moves

Chicago’s practice squad now includes:

1. RB Salvon Ahmed
2. G Caden Barnett
3. TE Stephen Carlson
4. DE Marcus Davenport
5. WR Kaden Davis
6. G Kyle Hergel
7. LB Wayne Matthews
8. WR Scott Miller
9. DB Deantre Prince
10. WR J.P. Richardson
11. LB Buddy Johnson
12. OL Christian Jones
13. RB Zavier Scott
14. TE Qadir Ismail
15. DB Anthony Johnson (injured)
16. QB Miller Moss
17. DB Keidron Smith

Smith, 26, signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 draft out of Kentucky. He was among their final roster cuts and started the year on Washington’s practice squad before a stint with the Broncos.

Denver re-signed him to a futures deal after the 2024 and 2025 seasons and he was signed to the Jets’ active roster after being on the Broncos’ practice squad.

The Falcons claimed Smith off waivers from the Jets in August but let him go during final roster cuts. He’s bounced on and off the Bears’ practice squad this season. 

In 2025, Smith appeared in three games for the Jets and recorded 15 total tackles.
