Bears' Roquan Smith Won't Return vs. Cowboys After Suffering Pectoral Injury

The Chicago Bears announced linebacker Roquan Smith suffered a pectoral injury and was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The 22-year-old was selected with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2018 draft by the Bears and was expected to make an instant impact on the team's defense as an inside linebacker in the team's 3-4 scheme.

Smith did just that, registering 122 tackles, five sacks and an interception in 2018. He earned a grade of 67.4 from Pro Football Focus, 39th among linebackers.
