Bears rule TE Demetrius Harris out for Jaguars game

The Bears flew to Jacksonville on Saturday without tight end Demetrius Harris, who was officially ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Harris hurt his ankle last week against the Vikings. He was called doubtful on Friday. Primarily a blocking tight end, Harris figures to be replaced by another blocker, J.P. Holtz.

The Bears have already ruled out two starting cornerbacks: rookie Jaylon Johnson, who hurt his right shoulder against the Texans, and slot cornerback Buster Skrine, who suffered a concussion earlier this month against the Lions.

Stars Khalil Mack, Allen Robinson and Akiem Hicks are all questionable, but figure to play.
