CHICAGO -- The Bears waived former starting running back Jeremy Langford, the team announced on Sunday.

Langford's roster spot went to undrafted running back Taquan Mizzell, who the team claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.

As Matt Forte's primary backup in 2015, Langford -- selected in the fourth round that year out of Michigan State -- rushed for 537 yards and six touchdowns. Langford became only one of three Bears players in franchise history with 100 receiving yards, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown in a single game.
