Bears add depth up front, sign defensive lineman Brent Urban

The Bears have added some depth to help replace Akiem Hicks on the defensive line, signing Brent Urban, according to his agency, CAA.

Urban, 28, was drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Ravens out of Virginia. The Mississauga, Ontario native spent five seasons with the team, tallying 3.5 sacks and 52 tackles in that time frame. He also started all 16 games for Baltimore last year, in addition to starting three games in 2017.

The veteran played in four games with the Titans this year, playing on 62 defensive snaps but not posting any production.
