The Chicago Bears have signed tight end Gabe Miller and placed him on the practice squad, according to Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune.
Miller was most recently a tight end with the Seattle Seahawks, but began his career as a linebacker with the Kansas City Chiefs, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Miller played his college ball at Oregon State, where he caught eight passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in his freshman year before switching to defensive end. On that side of the ball, Miller accumulated 67 tackles -- including 13 for a loss -- and eight sacks in two seasons.
Miller has yet to appear in an NFL regular season game at either position. However, if nothing else, it appears that he is versatile and up for a challenge.
