Shocking: Key Bears Offensive Lineman Lost to…
The Bears offensive line Cinderella story ended Tuesday for this season as former practice squad offensive lineman Bill Murray went on injured reserve with a pectoral injury suffered in Sunday’s game.
Murray is a former college defensive lineman who converted to the offensive line. He had been with the Patriots, was cut, came to the Bears practice squad and played well enough in training camp to make the 53-man Bears roster as a backup guard this year.
Murray came in after Teven Jenkins suffered an injury in Sunday’s game and then was injured himself.
There are several options for the Bear coming up, like using Nate Davis again at right guard or activating Ryan Bates from injured reserve.
Injuries hit them hard on the offensive line Sunday and more will be known on the severity of knee injuries to Jenkins and tackle Braxton Jones. Rookie Kiran Amegadjie saw his first extensive playing action and struggled at times.
