Barnes (undisclosed) worked out with the Bears on Monday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Barnes was cut after reaching an injury settlement with the Steelers in August of 2024, but he's now healthy ahead of the 2025 campaign. The cornerback appeared in two games with the Vikings in 2022, failing to record any stats while playing nine snaps on special teams. He hasn't appeared in any contests since then.
