LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears have re-signed special teams captain and cornerback Sherrick McManis to a two-year contract.

McManis has spent six of his eight seasons in Chicago after playing his first two with the Houston Texans. He tied for the team lead with 12 special teams tackles in 13 games last season. He recovered a fumbled punt and blocked a field goal attempt in a win over Pittsburgh early in the season.

The Bears announced the move on Tuesday. Chicago went 5-11 and finished last in the NFC North for the fourth straight year.
