With concerns about their depth at cornerback, the Bears added former second-round pick Teez Tabor to their practice squad Wednesday.
The Lions drafted Tabor at No. 53 overall in 2017, but he started just five games for them and hasn’t played since 2018. He was with the 49ers last year and this year, but never made it to their active roster. They waived him in July with a non-football injury.
Tabor played 12 games (four starts) for the Lions in 2018 and did not impress. He was targeted 27 times and allowed 17 completions for 335 yards and three touchdowns. Opposing quarterbacks posted a 143.3 passer rating against him.
The Bears picked up Tabor after starters Jaylon Johnson and Buster Skrine missed the Vikings game and could be out again Sunday against the Jaguars. Rookie Kindle Vildor was supposed to fill in for Johnson, but struggled. The Bears could promote Tabor in time to play against the Jaguars.
