The Bears put rookie tackle Larry Borom on injured reserve Saturday, a move that coach Matt Nagy seemed to forecast Friday afternoon.
Borom replaced left tackle Jason Peters when he hurt his quad in the second quarter of Sunday’s season opener. By the middle of the third quarter, Borom was hurt, too — his left ankle was rolled up on when Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw a shovel pass to Allen Robinson.
Borom did not practice all week. By going on IR, he’s eligible to return to after three games, which means he could play no sooner than Week 5 at the Raiders.
