    The Chicago Bears made a few roster moves on Tuesday, one of which involved waiving veteran receiver Santonio Holmes.

    The club also signed receiver Rashad Lawrence to the practice squad and terminated the practice-squad contract of linebacker Terrell Manning.

    Signed in August after a workout at Halas Hall as a potential replacement for then-injured second-year receiver Marquess Wilson, Holmes caught eight passes for 67 yards with the Bears and returned nine punts for 50 yards.

    The MVP of Super Bowl XLIII has caught 389 passes for 6,030 yards and 36 touchdowns over nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2006-09), New York Jets (2010-13) and Bears.

    Before joining the Bears, Holmes was coming off a season with the Jets in which he caught 23 passes for 456 yards and a touchdown in 11 games.
