C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who five years ago egged on fights with Bears players in two different games, is coming to Halas Hall.
The Bears agreed to add the safety on Wednesday, a source confirmed. Gardner-Johnson started 16 games for the Super Bowl champion Eagles a year ago, but bounced between the Texans and the Ravens this year, playing three games for Houston. He spent just a week on the Ravens’ practice squad earlier this month.
Gardner-Johnson has experience in defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s system, having played for the Saints from 2019-21. He played three games for coach Ben Johnson’s Lions in 2023.
He figures to contribute on obvious passing downs with the Bears missing slot cornerback Kyler Gordon, whom they put on IR on Saturday with groin and calf injuries.
