CHICAGO -- The Bears placed Dakota Dozier on injured reserve Tuesday, one week after the veteran offensive lineman sustained an apparent left leg injury during a minicamp practice.
Dozier, 31, was carted off the field towards the end of practice on June 14 when he got hurt nearing the end of a play during the team portion. He did not return for the following two days of the mandatory minicamp.
At the time of his injury, Dozier had been competing at second-team left guard. He had also gotten reps at right guard with the first-team unit earlier this spring.
