In a move to shore up their OL depth, the Bears signed a familiar face in OG Ted Larsen to a one-year contract Wednesday, the first day of the NFL's new league year.
Larsen, who turns 32 in June, returns for a second stint in Chicago, after appearing in all 16 games with eight starts during the 2016 season. Drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round in 2010, Larsen spent the past two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, starting 21 of a possible 32 games. In his career, the 6-foot-3, 323-pound blocker has logged 86 starts in 125 appearances with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Bears and Dolphins.
