Former University of North Carolina defensive lineman Jalen Dalton will reunite with a teammate in Chicago.
After participating in rookie minicamp with the Chicago Bears for three days on a tryout, Dalton did enough to impress the coaching staff. Following Sunday’s final session, Dalton posted a tweet on Instagram announcing he has signed a contract to join their 90-man roster:
The Bears later made official with a press release announcing they have signed Dalton and another rookie tryout to their roster. Dalton will now join his former teammate at UNC, Mitchell Trubisky, on the Bears roster. Trubisky is entering his third season with the franchise and his second as the starting quarterback.
