Bears Add Veteran Woods for Depth | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears made a savvy move this past Friday, signing veteran cornerback Xavier Woods to bolster their defensive backfield after Dallas Flowers went down with a leg injury. Woods, a seasoned pro since 2017 with stops in Dallas, Minnesota, Carolina, and Tennessee, brings proven experience — including two interceptions and 39 tackles last season — despite an early hamstring exit.

Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant’s knee injury keeps him sidelined for 8-10 weeks, but the Bears are staying proactive — and prepared.
