The Chicago Bears concluded their mandatory minicamp on Thursday, but still had business to conduct before departing Halas Hall until training camp.
The Bears have reportedly agreed to a deal with free agent offensive lineman Tyrone Wheatley Jr., according to his agent.
Wheatley recently had a tryout with the Bears earlier this week, along with other players such as tight end Jake Butt and defensive lineman Michael Pennel.
Wheatley most recently played for the Blues in the Spring League as an offensive lineman after spending his college career as a tight end. He is the son of former Michigan star running back Tyrone Wheatley.
So excited for my guy, T.J. Wheatley, on signing with the Chicago Bears! He has worked his tail off for this opportunity and I couldn’t be prouder!

The team’s newest addition will look to earn a roster spot as a reserve on the offensive line when training camp begins in six weeks.
