Ferguson was the Bears' second-round pick in 2014 (51st overall) and played in all 16 games that season, tallying 24 tackles and two sacks.
However, injuries have derailed each of the last two seasons — he missed all of 2016 and played in just four games in 2015.
The Bears may very well take a defensive lineman in next month's NFL Draft help supplement the depth chart still contains Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Mitch Unrein, Jonathan Bullard and Will Sutton, among others.
