The Bears are bringing back receiver Dante Pettis. They signed him to a one-year deal Monday, the first day of voluntary workouts at Halas Hall.
Pettis had 19 catches for 245 yards — the latter was the third-most among a woeful Bears receiving corps — and two runs for 37 yards. His three receiving touchdowns trailed only tight end Cole Kmet.
Pettis became the team’s primary punt returner after Velus Jones’ early-season struggles; he returned 18 kicks for 163 yards.
