The 6-foot-6, 318-pound Scott signed with the Bears last September and appeared in 12 games while making seven starts - six at right tackle. He has started 35 of 70 games played for Detroit (2006-07), Buffalo (2009), Pittsburgh (2010-11) and Chicago (2012) after being drafted in the fifth round by the Lions in 2006.

The Bills said Saturday that Scott, sidelined by a sprained ankle the last three games, will be out for personal reasons.

In college, he started his final 43 games and was an All-American in his senior season. Coach Dick Jauron said signing Scott allows the team to bolster its depth at tackle going into next season.
