Overview
- The Bears, which announced the moves Monday, signed WR Scotty Miller, WR Kyron Hudson, LB Wayne Matthews III and LB Jon Rhattigan, and placed undrafted WR Squirrel White on the reserve/retired list.
- Miller and Rhattigan earned contracts after veteran tryouts during the team’s two-day rookie minicamp, with Hudson and Matthews advancing from rookie tryouts.
- White retired less than two weeks after agreeing to terms as a UDFA, with the Chicago Tribune reporting he left Saturday’s minicamp practice with training staff as the team declined to give a reason.
- Miller is a seven-year NFL receiver with 99 career catches and a Super Bowl LV ring who offers speed depth after stints with the Buccaneers, Falcons and Steelers.
- The reserve/retired designation removes a player from the 90-man roster while the club keeps his rights, which frees a spot for more competition through the summer.
