Charlton has not yet made his 2022 season debut, but he could get a chance to contribute for the Bears as soon as Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. 

The twenty-eight-year-old appeared in 11 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, recording 18 total tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defended. Over his five-year career, he's spent time with the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and the Steelers.

Charlton is a former 1st-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2017 NFL Draft.
