The Chicago Bears announced Tuesday that they have signed former Kansas defensive end Jake Laptad to their practice squad. Laptad signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent and spent the preseason with them.
Other Kansas alumni are continuing their NFL careers.
Aqib Talib is in his fourth year as a cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has 13 tackles and one interception on the season. His only pick came in the season opener against the Detroit Lions, and he took it to the endzone for a touchdown.
Dexmon Briscoe, a wide receiver for the Buccaneers, has appeared in all five games this season, recording
eight receptions for 74 yards. His best game came in a week two victory against Minnesota when he caught four passes for 42 yards.
Kerry Meier has appeared in four games as a wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons after returning from a knee injury that sidelined him during the 2010 season.
Chris Harris, a cornerback, has appeared in five games this season for the Denver Broncos, making eight total tackles. He has received the most playing time on special teams. However, he logged time as cornerback in the Broncos' lopsided defeat to the Green Bay Packers. In that game, Harris recorded a season-high four tackles.
Darrell Stuckey is second on the San Diego Chargers depth chart at free safety. He has made four tackles this season, appearing mostly in special teams situations.
