As expected, the Chicago Bears brought back a veteran quarterback for insurance after Jay Cutler sustained a concussion.
Josh McCown, who was released by the Bears after the preseason, re-signed with the team Tuesday. McCown flew back to Chicago on Monday night.
Cutler's status is uncertain for Monday night's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, meaning backup Jason Campbell could start. The Bears would need a backup for Campbell with no other quarterback on the 53-man roster.
In three games (two starts) for the Bears last season, McCown completed 35 of 55 (63.6 percent) passes for 414 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions, including 470 total yards (402 passing and 68 rushing) in his two starts.
To make room for McCown, the Bears waived tight end Brody Eldridge.
