Bears waived SS Chris Harris, sources tell beat writer Vaughn McClure. Harris was permitted to seek a trade prior to the deadline, but said he would stick it out in Chicago as a backup after finding no takers. He then started last week's game against the Bucs with Major Wright (hip) a late scratch. Apparently, the Bears have simply now had enough. Harris was a second-team All-Pro selection last season, but has been getting abused in coverage this year. He was set to become a free agent at the end of this season anyway.
