It's been a busy day at Halas Hall.

After releasing veteran wide receiver Eddie Royal and waiving three others earlier on Thursday, the Bears officially signed two members of their 2017 draft class.

The Bears announced they have signed running back Tarik Cohen and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan.

Cohen, a fourth-round pick (119th overall) out of North Carolina A&T, rushed for 1,588 yards and 19 touchdowns, while adding 37 receptions for 339 yards and one touchdown in 2016.

Morgan, a fifth-round (147th overall) selection out of Kutztown, started every game for the Golden Bears in his four years with the team. Morgan was also coached by John Fox's staff at the Senior Bowl in January.

The only remaining unsigned Bears draft picks are quarterback Mitch Trubisky, tight end Adam Shaheen and safety Eddie Jackson.
