The Bears, still trying to fortify their interior defensive line, claimed defensive tackle Bravvion Roy off waivers from the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday.

The 6-1, 330-pound Roy, 26, played three seasons for the Panthers after being drafted by them in the sixth round in 2020. He had 17 tackles, one interception and three pass break-ups in 13 games (four starts) for Carolina last season.

Roy was waived Monday by the Panthers, who are transitioning from a 4-3 defense to 3-4 alignment under first-year defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.
