(670 The Score) The Bears have claimed linebacker Mykal Walker off waivers from the Falcons.
Walker, 25, was a fourth-round pick in Atlanta who has played 49 career games, including 12 starts last season. Linebacker Kuony Deng was waived.
The addition of Walker comes with middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds sidelined with an apparent injury. Coach Matt Eberflus on Monday said that Edmunds and other Bears players are "on track" with their injuries.
“We feel good where everybody is," Eberflus said.
The Bears will conduct joint practices with the Colts on Wednesday and Thursday in Indianapolis.
