On Wednesday the Chicago Bears signed 28-year old cornerback Dee Virgin to their practice squad to take the place of kicker Brian Johnson, who was signed by the Washington Football Team yesterday. The WFT had an injury at kicker, and this is the second time this season the Bears lost Johnson off their practice squad. If Washington waives him before three weeks, then by rule he will revert to the Bears, but even if he’s released after that I would imagine Chicago would re-sign him to their practice squad for a third time.
Virgin (5’9”, 195) was a 2017 UDFA of the Texans where he spent some time on their practice squad, but from 2018 through 2020 he played in 21 games with the Lions.
