The Chicago Bears have finally made the move fans have been begging for with getting a new edge rusher. Kind of.

NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that the Bears will be signing defensive end Jonathan Garvin to the practice squad. Garvin last played in an NFL regular season game with the Green Bay Packers in 2022. He's racked up 32 tackles, seven quarterback hits, one tackle for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two pass deflections in 38 games.

After getting cut in 2023, Garvin was out of football until he joined the United Football League and signed with the Birmingham Stallions.
