The Chicago Bears placed a tight end on injured reserve Sunday. The Bears have seen several players battling injuries during training camp.

Head coach Matt Eberflus said Sunday he was becoming concerned with some of the continuity of several players’ injuries. The Bears had over half of their projected starters on defense miss Sunday’s practice. The Bears have seen several starting offensive linemen affected by injuries at practice during training camp.

The Chicago Bears placed Chase Allen on IR

Most of the Bears’ injuries aren’t long-term concerns. However, according to Aaron Wilson with KPRC , tight end Chase Allen will miss extended practice time this summer after the Bears placed him on injured reserve.

Allen was signed by the Bears as a UDFA last spring. He spent last season on the Bears practice squad. This month, Allen will miss much-needed playing time during the Bears’ preseason games.
