The Chicago Bears filled the roster spot created by the release of safety Chris Harris on Thursday by signing linebacker Jabara Williams off waivers.
Williams (6-foot-2, 228 pounds) was a seventh-round draft selection (No. 228) by the St. Louis Rams out of Stephen F. Austin last April.
More details to come.

A linebacker?..
Well, they do have only 5 LBs active on the roster and 5 safeties, even without Harris. So it makes sense.
I think the fact that they did not sign Nelson or McBath is a sign that Chris Conte is looking good on film and is improving week to week. And the Bears will live with Wright/Merriweather opposite of him.
Williams is interesting and from what I read from the St Louis media tore it up in Rams camp and they were hoping to keep him on the PR.
Never heard about Pisa-did he flunk the physical?
Got to build up some depth on special teams.
Nothing was ever said shorty but since they appeared to holding a spot for him and played half the season with only 5 guys on the roster my guess is that he did. I don't think they'd have added this guy if Pisa was coming back. I wish him the best. He was a good player for us when healthy.Quote:
