Scotty Miller Rejoins Chicago Bears Practice Squad

The veteran receiver returns to provide the Bears experienced depth while remaining eligible to be signed by other teams unless Chicago promotes him.

Overview

  • Scotty Miller signed with the Chicago Bears’ practice squad Tuesday, a move confirmed on the NFL transaction wire and reported by Adam Schefter.
  • The signing reunites Miller with the team that cut him from its practice squad on September 24 after he joined Chicago following a veteran tryout in May.
  • Miller is a 2019 sixth-round pick best known for a 2020 breakout with Tom Brady when he caught 33 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Across his career he has played in 93 regular-season games with 99 receptions for 1,216 yards and six receiving touchdowns, but his role has been limited since 2020.
  • The move gives the Bears a seasoned backup behind Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Kalif Raymond and keeps Miller available as short-term insurance if injuries or roster changes force an elevation.
