    The Chicago Bears officially announced the signings of defensive tackles John McCargo and DeMario Pressley and defensive end Cheta Ozougwu to one-year deals. The signings of McCargo and Pressley were originally reported by Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune on Thursday night. Ozougwu was "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2011 NFL Draft, Ozougwu made two tackles in two preseason games for the Houston Texans last preseason, but was placed on injured reserve and waived with an injury settlement a week later. With the Bears, the 6-foot-2, 250-pound Ozougwu returns to his natural position of defensive end and will add depth behind starters Julius Peppers and Shea McClellin. During Ozougwu's four-year career at Rice University, he totaled 198 tackles, 25 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks.
