Overview
- The Bears officially added Salvon Ahmed Thursday to their 90-man offseason roster, a signing first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz and confirmed by the team.
- Ahmed, 27, missed the entire 2025 season after suffering a severe ankle injury on a hip-drop tackle and has been cleared to resume his comeback work with the Bears.
- Ahmed enters a crowded backfield behind D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai and will compete for a third- or fourth-string role where showing special-teams ability will be crucial.
- His path to Chicago follows a journeyman stretch that began as a 2020 undrafted free agent, included four seasons with Miami and brief stops with Denver and Indianapolis, and includes prior ties to Bears running backs coach Eric Studesville.
- The signing came with other roster moves from the team, including adding safety Anthony Johnson Jr. and shaping competition that will be winnowed from 90 players to a 53-man roster this summer.
