Bears cut Zacch Pickens after a 26-game span with three starts, 39 tackles and 1.5 sacks, fueling ongoing questions about Chicago’s third-round results under Ryan Poles. Velus Jones Jr. was cut previously, and Kiran Amegadjie remains on roster watch as roster cuts loom. The churn sharpens the focus on interior DL depth and run defense, with immediate fantasy implications for Bears defenders and potential opportunities for emerging players.
