Bears signed CB Desmond Trufant, formerly of the Lions, to a one-year contract.
Trufant was a below league-average player while struggling through soft tissue injuries with the Lions last season, permitting 12.9 yards per catch in the only six games he was available for. The Bears undoubtedly envision him as Kyle Fuller’s replacement but Trufant, 31 in August, should realistically be viewed as depth at this stage of his career. It’s a significant downgrade for Chicago’s secondary.
