伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市熊队 10 月 27 日裁掉角卫麦克劳德，签下跑卫斯科特充实特勤组
伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市消息，芝加哥熊队 10 月 27 日（周二）作出阵容调整：裁掉老将角卫尼克·麦克劳德，同时把跑卫扎维尔·斯科特从练习队提拔进 53 人大名单。
据报道，麦克劳德本赛季仅为熊队出战两场比赛，期间完成一次掉球回收，这是他第二次效力熊队，此前还曾效力旧金山 49 人队与纽约巨人队等球队，职业生涯共出战 63 场比赛、完成 123 次擒抱。
斯科特此前已通过练习队提拔方式参加了熊队最近三场比赛，全部出任特勤组，贡献 5 次擒抱与 1 次制造掉球；由于他的练习队提拔次数已经用完，球队若想继续使用他，就必须把他签进正式大名单，这也是本次调整的直接原因。签下斯科特也可为跑卫位置与特勤组提供深度。
熊队目前战绩 5 胜 2 负，正处在争夺国联北区头名的关键阶段，球队在 10 月 27 日这波操作后，特勤组与跑卫轮换都有了更稳妥的人手。后续阵容变化以球队官方交易公告为准。
Bears Release Cornerback Nick McCloud and Sign Running Back Xavier Scott to Bolster Special Teams
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois — The Chicago Bears made roster moves on Tuesday, October 27: releasing veteran cornerback Nick McCloud and signing running back Xavier Scott from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.
McCloud had appeared in only two games for the Bears this season, recording one fumble recovery. It was his second stint with the Bears; he has also played for the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants, among other teams, and has totaled 63 career games and 123 tackles.
Scott had already played in the Bears' last three games through practice-squad elevations, all on special teams, contributing five tackles and one forced fumble. Because his practice-squad elevations were exhausted, the team had to sign him to the active roster to keep using him, which was the direct reason for the move. Signing Scott also adds depth at running back and on special teams.
The Bears are 5-2 and in the thick of the race for the NFC North lead; after the October 27 moves, both their special teams and running back rotation have firmer depth. Further roster changes are subject to the team's official transaction announcements.
