Berrian showed flashes at the end of last season, but he had 7 catches for just 72 yards in the preseason and missed the finale with a bruised knee, which may or may not be 100 percent by Sunday.

Mark Bradley won a starting wideout spot last season as a rookie, but he suffered a torn ACL on Oct. 30, and he's still recovering. In limited duty, he's appeared close to regaining last year's form, with 6 preseason catches for 77 yards.

Rashied Davis, the surprise of training camp, led the Bears with 8 catches and 152 yards in the preseason after playing cornerback last season as a rookie.

Neither Justin Gage (5 catches, 45 yards in the preseason) nor Airese Currie (7 catches, 82 yards) was a sure thing to make the final roster, but both survived. Currie missed time in training camp and the first two preseason games following arthroscopic knee surgery, the latest in a long list of injuries.

None of the five has proven himself as more than an occasional contributor, a potential concern for a team counting on a postseason berth but needing desperately to upgrade an offense that ranked 31st in the NFL in passing yards last season.

“The biggest concern and disappointment has been that we haven't been able to keep them on the field at the same time week in and week out,” said Bears general manager Jerry Angelo.

“What we've seen on all of them we have liked. It's just a matter of them continuing to work. Just because they're unknown, doesn't mean that we're unhappy with them. It's just a matter of getting them up and going and getting them out on the field.

As of Sunday afternoon, the Bears hadn't placed a waiver claim on any wide receivers released by other teams, but that doesn't mean they won't be keeping an eye on who's out there.

One player they don't seem interested in is Charles Rogers — the No. 2 overall pick in 2003 — who was let loose by the Detroit Lions on Saturday.
