The Chicago Bears have reached an agreement with offensive tackle Jason Peters, with his agent, Vince Taylor, telling ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Peters will sign a one-year contract.
Bears coach Matt Nagy said Peters signed with Chicago to compete for the starting left tackle job. The Bears' original choice to play left tackle, rookie second-round pick Teven Jenkins, has been sidelined since the beginning of training camp with a back injury.
"It's about familiarity with a guy that's played in this league for a long time and has been very good," Nagy said Saturday.
