Cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who had planned to meet with the Bears while on a tour of potential teams, is signing with the Steelers. He’ll join their practice squad, per NFL Network.
Samuel was a free agent who had recovered from offseason spinal fusion surgery. The Bears were scheduled to talk to him Tuesday. He began his tour of NFL teams last week, when he met with the Panthers.
