On Wednesday, the Chicago Bears placed starting right guard Teven Jenkins, reserve offensive lineman Michael Schofield III, and cornerback Josh Blackwell on injured reserve.
To take their place on the 53-man roster, the Bears signed linebackers DeMarquis Gates and Terrell Lewis, and defensive end Jalyn Holmes from their practice squad.
Jenkins has suffered from a neck injury the last few weeks, Schofield has a knee issue, and Blackwell’s injury has not been disclosed.
After an odd start to the year, Jenkins started 11 of the 13 games he played this season. Schofield started 5 of his 12 games, and Blackwell had 1 start in 16 appearances.
