The Chicago Bears are fortunate they will not play Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in Week 8. The Ravens ruled Jackson out for a hamstring issue he suffered in Week 4 in a 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Baltimore will instead start backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who entered the team’s 17-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6 when Cooper Rush was benched.

The Bears top three cornerbacks will not play due to injury: Jaylon Johnson (groin), Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) and Kyler Gordon (groin/calf).

Per an announcement by the Bears on Saturday, Gordon is headed to the injured reserve along with offensive tackle Braxton Jones. Defensive end Austin Booker has been ruled out.

Via the Bears on a slew of roster moves on Saturday:

“The Chicago Bears on Saturday placed defensive back Kyler Gordon and offensive lineman Braxton Jones on Reserve/Injured and signed defensive lineman Jonathan Ford to the active roster.

“The Bears have also elevated tight end Stephen Carlson and defensive back Dallis Flowers from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens…

“Additionally, defensive lineman Austin Booker (knee) and linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga (knee) have been downgraded to OUT and remain on Reserve/Injured; Designated for Return.”

Gordon missed three of Chicago’s first four games of the season with a hamstring injury. The star cornerback’s inconsistency to stay on the field is worrying, given that the Bears gave him a three-year contract extension worth $40 million in April.

The Bears have until early next week to sign Booker to the 53-man roster, or he will stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
