LAKE FOREST, Ill., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- The Chicago Bears Tuesday signed former New Orleans Saints tackle Scott Sanderson.

The 6-6, 295-pound Sanderson backed up Kyle Turley with the Saints last season, playing mainly on special teams. He was a 1997 third-round pick of Tennessee and has played in 44 NFL games, starting six.

The Bears placed rookie safety Todd Johnson on injured reserve with a fractured jaw suffered in a preseason game. Johnson wasChicago's fourth-round pick.

Also, Chicago signed defensive end Cliff Washburn to the practice squad. The 6-5, 285-pound Washburn played only one year of college football at The Citadel and was cut by the New York Giants at training camp.
