Free-agent RB Napoleon Maxwell (Bears) signed with the Chicago Bears Monday, Aug. 31. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Maxwell was a backup in college at Florida International and initially signed with the Bears as a college free agent after the 2020 NFL draft. He was released before training camp began due to the 80-man limit on roster size. Maxwell is consistent as a runner and has a nose for the end zone but none of his traits are going to overly impress. We’ll see if he can make the practice squad.

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Ryan Pope was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aug. 31.
