The Chicago Bears have been significantly hampered by the injury bug this season, most recently losing running back Jeremy Langford to an ankle injury Sunday night versus the Dallas Cowboys. They have rookie Jordan Howard stepping up, but with Ka'Deem Carey also injured (hamstring), but with the running back corps now depleted, they needed to bring someone in for depth.
That depth was announced on Tuesday, with the signing of former Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell.
Bell had previously spent five years with Detroit, only to be released last February.
