SHARE Bears sign tackle to practice squad

The Bears signed Jamaal Johnson-Webb, an offensive tackle waived by the Arizona Cardinals two days ago, to their practice squad Monday.

The 6-foot-6, 306-pound Johnson-Webb started 45 games at Alabama A&M, earning all-SWAC honors and becoming the first Bulldogs player ever invited to the NFL Combine. He was signed by Arizona after going unchosen in the 2013 draft.
