It’s not yet clear what the 2023 population estimate will be, Pettis said, but already, there have been two detected right whale deaths in the last few months: a 20-year-old male struck and killed by a boat and an orphaned newborn calf.

Pettis, 27, returns for a second season and will challenge for a spot as the fourth or fifth receiver after the addition of DJ Moore.

The Bears could have kept Pettis only by putting him on their 53-man roster during final cuts Tuesday and then putting him on IR, in which case he would have been eligible to return.
