Bears sign ex-Lions long snapper Scott Daly

Scott Daly was one of the veteran roster cuts by the Detroit Lions ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline. It didn’t take long for Daly to find his next team.

Daly, the Lions regular long snapper for the past three seasons, quickly signed with the rival Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old Daly is a Chicago-area native and joined the Bears practice squad. He lost out in Detroit’s camp competition with undrafted rookie Hogan Hatten.

The Bears lost their own long snapper, Patrick Scales, to injured reserve. Daly is expected to be elevated from the practice squad in Week 1.
