The Bears deserve plenty of credit, from coach Matt Nagy to head trainer Andre Tucker to sport science coordinator Jen Gibson and everyone involved, for largely keeping the eventual NFC North champions healthy in 2018. The Bears lost tight end Adam Shaheen and right guard Kyle Long to injured reserve, yet had both players return during the season.
The most significant IR loss the team had was slot corner Bryce Callahan, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury in Week 15. Backup linebacker Sam Acho and tight end Dion Sims were the other two players to land on IR in 2018.
