Bears put Jaylon Jones, Andrew Billings on IR
The Bears put a couple of defensive players on injured reserve Thursday.
Cornerback Jaylon Jones went on the list with a shoulder injury and defensive tackle Andrew Billings is set for pectoral surgery. Billings is expected to miss most or all of the rest of the season while Jones will have to be out for at least four games.
They filled one of the empty roster spots by signing defensive back Tarvarius Moore off of the practice squad.
The Bears listed tackle Kiran Amegadjie (calf), safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion), tight end Marcedes Lewis (rest), linebacker Noah Sewell (knee), and tackle Darnell Wright (knee) as out of practice. Cornerback Kyler Gordon (hamstring), tackle Braxton Jones (knee), defensive back Terrell Smith (ankle), and defensive end Darrell Taylor (knee) were limited participants.
Brian Robinson limited, Marshon Lattimore out at Commanders practice
The Commanders may be getting running back Brian Robinson back in the lineup against the Steelers this week, but the prospects of cornerback Marshon Lattimore making his debut are looking a little dimmer.
Robinson missed last Sunday with a knee injury, but he got in his second straight limited practice session on Thursday. Lattimore, who joined the team in a Tuesday trade with the Saints, was out of practice again due to a hamstring injury.
Lattimore’s missed a fair amount of time in recent seasons and the Commanders rolled the dice that he’ll be healthy enough to spend most of his time on the field in the coming weeks.
Defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee) and tackle Cornelius Lucas (ankle) missed practice. Defensive end Dorance Armstrong (shoulder), edge rusher Dante Fowler (groin), kicker Austin Seibert (right hip), tackle Andrew Wylie (shoulder), and tight end Colson Yankoff (hamstring) were limited participants. Center Tyler Biadasz (thumb) went from limited on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday.
