The Bears waived Traore on Tuesday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Traore was carted off the field during practice last week after injuring his knee, but the Bears did not list him as injured when he was waived. He was competing for a depth roster spot at offensive tackle. With Teven Jenkins -- the Bears second-round pick -- out for the season, Chicago will have to choose between Elijah Wilkinson and Jason Peters to protect Andy Dalton's blindside.
