  "textContent": "<p>One year after Jack Sanborn followed Matt Eberflus to the Cowboys, the linebacker returned to the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a> on a one-year deal Wednesday. </p><p>Sanborn, who turns 26 in July, went to Lake Zurich High School. The <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/03/18/bears-sign-james-lynch-one-year-deal-free-agency-titans-vikings-defensive-tackle-depth-nfl\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a> signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin and started him 19 times from 2022-24.</p><p>In Dallas, Sanborn played for Eberflus, who was named their defensive coordinator after the Bears fired him in 2024, and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi. Sanborn played just six games because of a concussion and groin injury.</p><p>Sanborn will provide depth at an injury-ravaged linebacker spot. The Bears are awaiting the return of T.J. Edwards from a leg injury and Noah Sewell from a torn Achilles’ tendon. The Bears signed Devin Bush last week to replace Tremaine Edmunds, whom they released as a cap casualty. Sanborn is expected to help on special teams, too.<br></p>",
