Exactly one month ago Friday, Chris Harris quietly expressed his desire for a contract extension in order to finish his career with the Bears.

Now the veteran safety figures he's no longer in the team's plans.

Harris and fellow veteran safety Brandon Meriweather, the starters in Monday night's 24-13 loss to the Lions, were demoted before Thursday's practice in favor of second-year player Major Wright and rookie Chris Conte. Wright is set to start at strong safety and Conte at free safety versus the Vikings on Sunday night.

Have to assume Wright given that he has more experience in the system and will be playing strong safety. He didn't look that great earlier but might be a solid source of tackles if he can hold onto the job.

I noticed Conte was a 3rd round draft pick so curious to know what kind of upside he has moving forward? Anyone know anything about him from College?
