The Chicago Bears added four players to their roster Monday after its rookie minicamp this past weekend. Chicago signed veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller, veteran linebacker Jon Rhattigan, rookie wide receiver Kyron Hudson and rookie linebacker Wayne Matthews III.
Miller tried out for the Bears this weekend after spending seven seasons in the NFL. The Barrington native spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2020 season. He’s caught 99 passes for 1,216 yards and six touchdowns during his career.
