Bears: CB Demontre Hurst signed through '16

LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Cornerback Demontre Hurst was signed on Wednesday by the Chicago Bears to a contract extension through 2016, according to the team website.

Hurst appeared in 15 games at the nickel position last season, recording 39 tackles and an interception after spending 2013 on the Bears' practice squad.

"It's a blessing," Hurst told the Bears website on Wednesday. "It's a blessing to be where I started and get to be with a different set of coaches but still with the same teammates. I'm just happy to be back with the guys. They pretty much helped me throughout the season last year to keep growing with them."

Hurst, as an exclusive free agent, was permitted to only negotiate and sign with the Bears.
