Rolle announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle, now 33 years old, is a three-time Pro Bowl safety and Super Bowl champion who will finish his decorated career with 834 tackles, four sacks, 69 PBUs, 26 interceptions and five touchdowns to his name. He was last with the Bears up until May, but was coming off an injury-shorted 2015 campaign and subsequently released in order to clear cap room.

The Bears have released Rolle, the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Releasing Rolle saves the Bears $3 million against their 2016 salary cap, with the move made more feasible after the team took safeties Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson in the recently-completed NFL Draft. The 33-year-old Rolle was limited to seven games and 35 tackles in his one and only season with the Bears in 2015.

Rolle (knee) has been placed on IR by the Bears, the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle's injury is described as a sprained knee, which suggests that he should be recovered well in advance of the 2016 season. In seven games for the Bears in 2015, Rolle logged 35 tackles. In a corresponding move, OT Tayo Fabuluje was reinstated to the team's active roster.

Rolle (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, but the Bears decided the veteran safety wasn't quite healthy enough to play Sunday. With Rolle missing his fourth straight game, Chris Prosinski will continue to start at strong safety.

Rolle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle couldn't play through the injury last week, but a Thursday return to practice suggests he at least has some shot to return for Sunday's game. If not, Chris Prosinski would likely get another start alongside Adrian Amos.

Rolle (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The knee issue will prevent Rolle from suiting up for a third straight game. He failed to practice throughout the week, and until he's able to see some on-field involvement, it'll be difficult to project him to return for any of the Bears' subsequent contests. Chris Prosinski will make another start in place of Rolle.

Rolle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle didn't practice all week and isn't expected to play in Sunday's game, according to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Sun-Times. Chris Prosinski thus figures to get another start alongside Adrian Amos.

Rolle (knee) is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the Packers, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle missed Sunday's game against the Broncos after injuring his knee during Saturday's walkthrough. Chris Prosinski figures to start for a second straight week, following a six-tackle, one-sack showing Sunday afternoon. He's a better IDP option than rookie free safety Adrian Amos, who has just 39 tackles this season despite starting every game.

Rolle (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Bears coming off a short week following Monday's win over the Chargers, a banged-up Rolle was a limited participation in practices Thursday and Friday. That was still good enough for him to remain available for a third straight game, and he figures to be on the field for nearly every play Sunday as one of the team's starting safeties. Unfortunately, Rolle's ample snap count hasn't aided his fantasy production, as he's supplied a meager 30 tackles and has produced no turnovers over six games this season.

Rolle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Rolle missed Wednesday's practice but then returned to limited participation both Thursday and Friday. He should be able to play in Sunday's contest, as he returned from a two-game absence for a Week 9 win over the Chargers, immediately stepping back in as an every-down player.
