Bears put G Dakota Dozier on IR
Bears guard Dakota Dozier played for the Vikings last season.One week after he was carted off a Halas Hall backfield with what appeared to be a left knee injury, Bears guard Dakota Dozier was put on injured reserve Tuesday.
Signed to a one-year contract in March, Dozier was rotating at the right guard position with Sam Mustipher during offseason practices. Rookie Zach Thomas, a San Diego State tackle the Bears moved inside, saw playing time at guard over the final two days of mandatory minicamp.
In seven NFL seasons, Dozier had started 27 games — and appeared in 49 more — for the Jets and Vikings.
