On January 26, 2019, Massie signed a four-year contract extension with the Bears through the 2022 season.[9][10]

In Week 2 of the 2020 season against the New York Giants, Massie recorded his first career catch, a four yard pass intended for tight end Jimmy Graham, during the 17–13 win.[11] He was placed on injured reserve on November 3, 2020, with a knee injury.[12] He was designated to return from injured reserve on December 30, and began practicing with the team again,[13] but the team did not activate him before the end of the season.
