Bears Make Minor Roster Moves

(CBS) The Bears have signed fullback Darrel Young as part of a series of minor roster moves.

Young spent the past six seasons with Washington, playing in 90 games and starting 36. He had 185 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in that span while also notching 45 receptions for 432 yards and six scores.

In a corresponding move, Chicago waived fullback Joe Sommers, who had joined the Bears earlier this season as an undrafted free agent.

The Bears have also signed defensive back Joel Ross and placed defensive back Brandon Boykin on the injured reserve list. Ross has spent time with the Cowboys and Buccaneers since the start of the 2015 season. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game yet.

Offensive lineman Amini Silatolu has passed his physical for Chicago as well.
