The list also includes some established players, most notably defensive back Tarvarius Moore. Receiver Collin Johnson, who had three catches for 56 yards and two touchdowns this preseason, was also brought back. The Bears have signed 14 players in total to their practice squad, but still have two open spots available before reaching the 16-man maximum. Expect this group to remain in some flux as the Bears roster shakes out and then settles heading into Week 1.

Here’s the full list of signings, as announced by the Bears on Wednesday afternoon:

• LB Micah Baskerville
• OL Theo Benedet
• TE Stephen Carlson
• DL Byron Cowart
• OL Jake Curhan
• WR Collin Johnson
• DB Quindell Johnson
• LB Carl Jones
• DL Jamree Kromah
• DL Dashaun Mallory
• DB Tarvarius Moore
