Bears also announce that defensive lineman Brandon Dunn has terminated his practice squad contract because he was signed to the Houston Texans 53 man roster. Chicago also terminated the practice squad contract of center Ryan Seymour.
To fill the two spots on the practice squad, the Bears signed wide receiver Nathan Palmer (5'11", 198) and defensive tackle D'Anthony Smith (6'2", 300).
Palmer played in five games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 on offense and special teams, he had one catch for -4 yards and he recovered a fumble on special teams.
