The Bears’ backup defensive tackle suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Whether he has a chance to return this season has not yet been reported. The Bears also signed TE Stephen Carlson to the active roster and DL Earnest Brown to the practice squad.

Street has spent the past three seasons as a rotational pass rusher for the Falcons. He notched three tackles for loss, including two sacks, in seven games last season. The Bears add Street for depth on the defensive line.
