As if they didn’t have enough other problems, the Bears found themselves thin in the backfield with the injury to Jeremy Langford.
They found a familiar face to fill the gap, signing former Lions running back Joique Bell, according to Joique Bell’s social media.
The 30-year-old Bell had worked out for the Lions lately, but has a chance at a more immediate role with the Bears.
Langford is expected to miss four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain suffered Sunday night against the Cowboys. That left rookie Jordan Howard as the primary back, since Ka’Deem Carey was out with a hamstring injury.
