McCloud (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

McCloud (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

McCloud logged limited practices throughout Week 18 as he has battled a persistent illness. The cornerback's ability to practice through the issue is a strong sign that he will be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. If the sickness proves too much for the 27-year-old, Tyrique Stevenson or Jaylon Jones will likely be the backup slot cornerback behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson for Sunday.

McCloud (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

McCloud was unable to shake off an illness in time to be available for the Bears' Week 17 loss to the 49ers. He's still under the weather, but he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and likely fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lions.

McCloud (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

McCloud didn't practice all week due to an illness, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined for Sunday's contest. The Notre Dame product has appeared in 15 games this season, recording 27 total tackles and two passes defensed. Both Jaylon Jones and Tyrique Stevenson will likely have expanded roles in Chicago's secondary while McCloud is sidelined Week 17.

McCloud signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In 2024, the cornerback appeared in seven regular-season games with the Giants (162 defensive snaps, 115 special-teams snaps) and eight with the 49ers (52 defensive snaps, 97 special-teams snaps), recording 25 tackles (14 solo) in total as well as a pass defensed. McCloud has 16 starts in 48 career games, and his best statistical campaign came with the Giants in 2022, when he finished the regular season with 43 tackles (35 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and seven pass breakups. He should have a chance to compete for at least a depth role in Chicago.

The Giants waived McCloud on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
