Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images\With star running back Matt Forte out with a high ankle sprain, the Chicago Bears have signed free agent Kahlil Bell, as he announced on Twitter Saturday.

"I'm taking my talents back to Chicago," Bell tweeted. "So happy to be back. Never wanted to leave."

The Bears worked out Bell and Steve Slaton on Friday, but went with Bell, who they released in August.

Now they need the oft-injured Michael Bush to remain healthy as well.
