Ruben Hyppolite has been placed on injured reserve by the Chicago Bears after going unclaimed on waivers, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Hyppolite was among the players who were waived and released on Sunday during the NFL's roster cutdown period. The Bears waived Hyppolite with an injury designation after getting hurt during training camp.
Hyppolite was a 2025 fourth-round pick out of Maryland and was seen by many draft experts as a reach. He didn't see much playing time as a rookie and when he eventually got on the field, injuries limited him. In seven games, Hyppolite totaled six tackles.
Going into the 2026 season, Hyppolite was competing with players such as Jack Sanborn and rookie Keyshaun Elliott for one of the reserve linebacker roles. He had seven tackles in two preseason games.

Bad weather in the area forced the Chicago Bears inside the Walter Payton Center for practice today, so, for the second time this year, fans were sent home. My advice for fans traveling a long way for practice: have a backup plan. Don't just drive in for a 90ish-minute practice that may get canceled if it's raining. Camp is an enjoyable experience, and the Bears have several vendors and events lined up to make it a fun, family-friendly time, but last-minute cancellations are always a possibility.
As for the on-field action at today's practice, would you believe that multiple beat reporters praised second-year linebacker Ruben Hyppolite? 1) "Nice day for Ruben Hyppolite out there. He made a few really nice plays, including getting into the backfield." 2) "Ruben Hyppolite had his best practice of camp. Very active on defense." 3) "Made some plays. Sniffed out a screen to Loveland, made the tackle." But we also had this: "Ruben Hyppolite times fast but struggled covering Cole Kmet on routes."
The Bear Report's Zack Pearson shared, "Mixed day for the offense overall. Big play ended practice as Tyson Bagent hit Kaden Davis for a long touchdown. The WR made a nice catch in coverage. Good ball." He also wrote, "Early in practice, Caleb Williams found Jahdae Walker deep for a 61-yard touchdown. The very next play, Case Keenum hit Kaden Davis for a 60-yard touchdown. A lot of that was YAC." He also shared that corner Tyrique Stevenson, who was dinged up yesterday, was back and picked off Caleb in a drill.
CHGO's Adam Jahns said that the blitzes from defensive coordinator Dennis Allen "gave Caleb Williams and Co. plenty of problems in one team period today at practice."
Also, in case you missed it, with Allen in Canton yesterday for Drew Brees' Hall of Fame induction, Al Harris took over as the defensive coordinator during practice.

Another busy weekend of official visits resulted in several high school football players on the USA TODAY Florida Network top 100 making college decisions.
Among the top commitments were North Miami Beach safety Andre Hyppolite (No. 32, Miami), Palm Beach Lakes athlete Turmarian Moreland (No. 43, Virginia Tech) and Lakeland edge rusher Drew Sapp (No. 59, Colorado).
The UCF Knights football program landed a pair of in-state commitments, while Wake Forest and Vanderbilt both added impact players to their secondaries.
USA TODAY Florida Network recruiting reporters Jon Santucci and Nick Wilson gave their takeaways from the second weekend in June:
Santucci: Miami. I absolutely love Andre Hyppolite's game. If the North Miami Beach safety was at another school in South Florida, everyone would know his name and his ability. He's long, rangy, physical and has the ability to add muscle to his 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame. This commitment wasn't a surprise as most expected Hyppolite to stay in Miami, but this still is a big win.
