Street won’t be a starter for the Bears on defense, but he’ll serve as a suitable backup. The Bears run a Base 4-3 Defense under defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, while Street played under a Base 3-4 Defense while in Atlanta.
The Bears have defensive linemen Grady Jarrett, edge defenders Montez Sweat and Day Odeyingbo, and Gervon Dexter Sr. as the starters. Street and defensive lineman Neville Gallimore will come off the bench and plug when needed. The Bears had the fourth-worst in the NFL (29th, 361.8 yards).
