Roster Moves: Bears sign veteran DT, release LB Jeremiah Attaochu

There is finally some roster news!

The Chicago Bears announced on Monday that they have signed veteran defensive tackle Mike Pennel and in a corresponding move released linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu.

In eight seasons over 101 games, Pennel registered 176 tackles, eight tackles-for-loss and two sacks.

He played in 10 games and registered 21 tackles for the Atlanta Falcons last season. He also had a stint with the Bears but was released on Aug 31.

Attaochu signed with the Bears last season but wasn't much of a factor as he sustained a season-ending pectoral injury during week five action.
