Shortly after revealing their injury designations for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Chicago Bears announced they would place cornerback Josh Blackwell on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Blackwell was promoted to the number one nickelback role when the Bears placed Kyler Gordon on IR with a broken hand. He had surgery a few days before their week two game against the Bucs, so if he’s able to, he can come off IR after Chicago’s fifth game.
Look for Greg Stroman Jr. to be the Bears nickel against the Broncos in two days.
