The Bears have signed cornerback Desmond Trufant to a one-year deal, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Friday. The financial terms of the deal have yet to be announced.
Trufant, 30, spent the 2020 season with the Lions after seven seasons with the Falcons, during which he made the Pro Bowl in 2015. He started in six games for Detroit this past season in a campaign plagued by a nagging hamstring injury. In his eight-year career, Trufant has 14 interceptions and 83 pass deflections to his name.
Known as a talented defensive back, Trufant has missed 17 games over the past two seasons due to injury.
