The Chicago Bears are releasing veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Miller earned himself a roster spot during rookie minicamp tryout earlier this offseason.
Miller had an impressive offseason program and seemed primed for that final wide receiver spot. But the emergence of Kaden Davis and Maurice Alexander, among others, made it difficult for Miller to stand out during training camp and the preseason.
Miller is a former sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he spent his first four seasons. He had a career year in his sophomore season, hauling in 33 catches on 53 targets for 501 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games, including five starts.
Miller also spent time with the Atlanta
Falcons (2023) and most recently the Pittsburgh Steelers (2024-25), where he totaled 14 catches for 131 yards in 26 games with one start.
