Bears signing WR Reggie Roberson Jr. to practice squad

One day after putting Byron Pringle on injured reserve, the Bears are bringing in another receiver. They are signing receiver Reggie Roberson Jr., to their practice squad, his agent said Wednesday morning.

The Bears had an open spot after promoting linebacker Joe Thomas to the active roster Tuesday.

Roberson is a 5-11, 192-pound receiver whose speed could make him a deep threat. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Titans in May, cut in late August and then re-signed to the practice squad. One day after joining the practice squad, though, he was released and replaced by receiver Josh Gordon.
