Bears Sign LB James Vaughters To PS, Place LB Fadol Brown On Practice Squad IR

The Bears announced Tuesday they have signed LB James Vaughters to the practice squad and placed LB Fadol Brown on the practice squad injured reserve. 

Here’s an updated look at Chicago’s practice squad: 

1. DB Stephen Denmark
2. TE Jesper Horsted
3. WR Thomas Ives
4. DB Michael Joseph
5. OL Sam Mustipher
6. RB Ryan Nall
7. RB Kerrith Whyte
8. QB Tyler Bray
9. TE Dax Raymond
10. LB Fadol Brown (Injured)
11. LB James Vaughters

Vaughters, 26, wound up signing on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford back in 2015. However, he was unfortunately among the Packers roster cuts coming out of the preseason.

The Packers later signed Vaughters to their practice squad and he had brief stints with the Patriots and Chargers before signing on with the Calgary Stampeders for the 2017 season. The Bears signed Vaughters to a futures contract this January and he had another stint on the practice squad earlier this year. 

During his two seasons with the Stampeders, Vaughters recorded 50 tackles and 11 sacks over the course of 33 games.
