On Thursday, the Chicago Bears announced that they signed linebacker Davion Taylor, with the corresponding roster move waiving Buddy Johnson with an injury designation.
Taylor (6’1”, 230) was originally a third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. During the first two years of his career, he started 7 of the 21 games he appeared in, which included a stint in injured reserve each season. In that time, he racked up 51 tackles and two forced fumbles, while also playing some on special teams. He spent all of last season on Philly’s practice squad.
