The Bears have numerous injuries in the secondary with safeties Major Wright, Craig Steltz, and josh bullocks all sidelined with injuries.

The Bears announced the signing of Webster along with the arrival of quarterback Matt Gutierrez. The team will announce which two players were released later.

Someone who is practice squad eligible to compete with Quentin Scott or make it if he is any good and Scott is claimed off waivers.
