At long last, it’s Daniel Braverman time. According to a league source, the Bears will activate the slot receiver from the practice squad Tuesday.

Braverman, the Bears’ seventh-round pick in the 2016 draft, will take the roster spot of linebacker Danny Trevathan, who will go on injured reserve after tearing the patellar tendon in his right knee Sunday against the Titans.

Braverman’s promotion will come just days after the Bears dropped 10 passes in their loss to the Titans. Wide receivers Josh Bellamy and Deonte Thompson dropped would-be game-tying touchdowns in the end zone in the final minute.

“Like everything, if it doesn’t go real well, the more you do it, the better you get,” coach John Fox said Monday when asked about the drops.

“Those game conditions are a little bit different from practice. A lot of those guys probably played more in this game against the Titans than they had all season.”

Did it turn into a mental issue?

“Everything we do is mental,” Fox said. “The reality is we’re in a performance-based business. We’ve got to get better at performing and executing in game situations.”

With Kevin White on injured reserve, Alshon Jeffery suspended and Eddie Royal limited by a toe injury, it was only a matter of time before Braverman got an opportunity.

As a true slot receiver, Braverman, listed at 5-10, 185 pounds, differs from Bellamy, Thompson, Cameron Meredith and Marquess Wilson.

Braverman was very productive in his last season at Western Michigan with 1,367 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. He had a big game against Ohio State.

“Braverman is a guy with phenomenal short-area quickness,” receivers coach Curtis Johnson said this month. “He just needs to continue to work and continue to understand the pro game.”

A standout in training camp, Braverman quickly became a fan favorite. But he struggled to turn his practice success into results in preseason games.

He was one of the Bears’ last cuts for their first 53-man roster. But he was immediately re-signed to the practice squad Sept. 4 after he cleared waivers.

It was thought that the Bears might give Braverman a chance in early October with Royal hurt, but the team wanted Braverman to get more work in practice.

Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said at that time that he was excited to see what Braverman could do if he was promoted to the active roster.

“He works his tail off,” Loggains said. “There’s something to the kid. He had a good training camp, a good round of [organized team activities].

“At some point in his career, he’s going to get an opportunity here, and we’ll see when that is.”

That time is now.
