Former Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols has found a new NFL home.
The rusher was signed by the Chicago Bears on Tuesday, and will be a part of team’s practice squad.
McNichols was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 162 overall in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. His latest stop in was with the Titans in Nashville, Tennessee.

McNichols was an intriguing player who many fans hoped the Titans would hold onto, despite already having names like Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis and David Fluellen on the roster.
The 5-foot-9, 205-pounder had a successful college career at Boise State, where he recorded over 2,100 yards from scrimmage in 2016.
Before the Titans, McNichols also saw time with the San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.
He’s played in three regular season games, with two rushing attempts for four yards.
