To replace Gould, the Bears signed 16-year veteran Olindo Mare, who most recently kicked for the Carolina Panthers last season. Linebacker Jerry Franklin was also signed and wide receiver Joe Anderson was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.
The Bears also waived guard Andre Gurode and signed guard Chris Riley to the practice squad.
