More linebacker depth added by the Monsters of the Midway.

The Chicago Bears announced that they have signed linebacker Davion Taylor who had a tryout with the team earlier this week.

In a corresponding move, the Bears have waived linebacker Buddy Johnson with an injury designation.

The 25-year-old was on the practice squad with them last season.

Taylor was a third-round draft pick in 2020 by the Eagles.

Johnson was a fourth-round draft pick in 2021 by the Steelers.

He registered two tackles in four games with the Steelers as a rookie.
