Bears Release DB Omar Bolden

(CBS) The Bears have released defensive back Omar Bolden, they announced Friday.

Bolden had signed a one-year deal with Chicago in late March after spending his first four seasons in Denver, where he won the Super Bowl last season. He was primarily a special teams player who had battled through foot and leg injuries in 2015.

Bolden had played for Bears coach John Fox for three seasons in Denver before Fox left for Chicago in 2015.

There was hope on the Bears' end that he could contribute as a key special teams member, and Bolden had experience as a kick and punt returner too.
