On the day they report to training camp, the Bears on Tuesday signed receiver Isaiah Ford and linebacker Buddy Johnson and waived linebacker Sterling Weatherford and punter Ryan Anderson.
Ford was selected by the Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2017 draft out of Virginia Tech. He appeared in 32 games with three starts over four seasons with Miami, catching 63 passes for 681 yards and two touchdowns. Last year Ford spent part of training camp with the Colts before being waived Aug. 16.
Johnson was chosen by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2021 draft out of Texas A&M and played four games as a rookie, mostly on special teams. He spent parts of last season on the practice squad with the 49ers and Texans.
Take a look each player on the Bears roster as Enjoy Illinois Training Camp gets underway at Halas Hall in preparation for the 2023 season. (Players listed numerically)
