The Chicago Bears signed tight end Zach Miller to a one-year contract extension Friday through the 2015 season.

Miller missed the entire 2014 season with a foot injury. After signing with the Bears last offseason, he caught six passes for 68 yards and two scores in the team’s first preseason game. A left foot Lisfranc injury landed Miller on injured reserve Aug. 15.

Miller has played in 33 games with five starts during his NFL career, all with Jacksonville (2009-11), recording 45 receptions for 470 yards and four touchdowns.
