Bears to shuffle roster again with waiver claims, free-agent signings

Owen Ziliak/Sun-Times

The Bears continued tweaking their roster Wednesday by claiming two players off waivers and signing a free agent, NFL Network reported.

They signed returner and wide receiver Trent Taylor, who was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, and claimed defensive end Khalid Kareem (Colts) and safety Quindell Johnson (Rams).

They’ll need to clear three roster spots to make room, and NFL Network reported they waived backup defensive end Terrell Lewis for one of them.

The Bears were expected to consider a quarterback after cutting P.J. Walker and Nathan Peterman, leaving them with only undrafted rookie to back up Justin Fields, and many were available.
