Offensive lineman Germain Ifedi is returning to the Bears on a one-year, $5 million contract, NFL Network reported.
The Bears signed the 2016 first-round pick last offseason and put him at right guard. He went to right tackle — where he’d finished his Seahawks career — after Bobby Massie hurt his knee.
He allowed two sacks and committed five penalties in 16 games. In December, coach Matt Nagy praised Ifedi’s move as one reason for the offensive line’s late-season improvement.
“He embraced it from the start, and it’s benefitting us right now,” Nagy said.
