The Chicago Bears will bench cornerback Tyrique Stevenson for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to NFL Network. Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport reported that this was a “one-week demotion” as a result of Stevenson taunting fans and reacting slowly to Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary pass to give the Washington Commanders a Week 8 victory over Chicago.

Yesterday’s videos didn’t really convey to me how long Tyrique Stevenson’s taunting lasted. He didn’t make any play-like moves until the receivers were inside the 20-yard line! pic.twitter.com/5pnj9v0W2H

The 2023 second-round pick received a lot of ridicule and criticism after the play. He apologized on social media hours after the game ended.

According to Rapoport, Stevenson won’t be completely shut out in Week 9. He remains on the active roster “and is expected to rotate with cornerback Terell Smith.” The NFL expert added that “this is expected to be the last step in the process of relaxing” the Hail Mary.

Stevenson has appeared in six of the Bears’ first seven games. He has 35 tackles, one interception and six pass deflections.

On Sunday, Chicago will look to slow down Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray after he threw for a season-high 307 yards in a win over the Miami Dolphins last week.
