Veteran linebacker Lamarr Houston rejoins Bears
The Bears brought back a familiar face Wednesday, claiming veteran outside linebacker Lamarr Houston off waivers from the Houston Texans.Houston, who originally joined the Bears in 2014, hurt his knee Aug. 31 in the preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns. He was placed on injured reserve Sept. 2 and then released Sept. 6.
Houston signed with the Texans Oct. 11 after defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Whitney Mercilus suffered season-ending injuries. Houston was waived Tuesday after appearing in five games and recording six tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery that he returned 34 yards for a touchdown.
