LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears placed former first round pick cornerback Kyle Fuller on injured reserve, signed running back Joique Bell and defensive lineman CJ Wilson, elevated linebacker John Timu to the active roster, and waived linebacker Jonathan Anderson and tight end Greg Scruggs, the team announced on Tuesday.
Fuller, whom the Bears claimed underwent a routine knee scope in the preseason, started 30 of 32 games for the Bears in 2014-15, intercepting six passes and forcing three fumbles. Ex-general manager Phil Emery selected Fuller 14th overall in the 2014 NFL draft, but current defensive coordinator Vic Fangio hinted last year that the club expected more out of the Virginia Tech product.
