Bears TE Trey Burton placed on IR, Vaughters promoted

Instead of the weekly cut-sign of Bradley Sowell, the Bears made a different move this week.

After already ruling out Trey Burton after he missed all week of practice, the Bears moved him to injured reserve Saturday and promoted linebacker James Vaughters.

Burton played in eight games this season, starting five but had just 14 receptions for 84 yards and zero touchdowns.
