In search of defensive edge depth, the Bears have signed Bruce Irvin, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Concrete contract terms have not yet been disclosed.
Irvin’s addition comes on the heels of Khalil Mack’s ongoing recovery from a foot injury. Mack last played in a blowout defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in late October. But even then, the veteran had seldom been a full participant in practices in the lead-up to games. Ever since Chicago has shut Mack down for the foreseeable future.
It appears three weeks of rest were not enough.
