With Jeremy Langford expected to miss 4-6 weeks, the Bears signed former Lions running back Joique Bell Tuesday, just in time to prepare for this week’s opponents, the Lions. Bell posted an Instagram of his contract signing with GM Ryan Pace and director of football administration Joey Laine.
They also signed former Lions and Raiders defensive lineman C.J. Wilson and promoted linebacker John Timu from the practice squad.
The Bears waived linebacker Jonathan Anderson and tight end Greg Scruggs.
Bell, 30, had 90 carries for 311 yards and four rushing touchdowns last season for Detroit to go along with 22 catches for 286 yards.
