The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon on injured reserve Saturday, requiring him to miss a minimum of four games.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss Sunday’s game against the Bears because of his hamstring injury, the team announced.

The Bears also put backup swing tackle Braxton Jones, originally their starter on the left side, on IR with a knee injury.

SPRINGFIELD–The top brass at Missouri State should be awfully pleased with itself. The Bears first year competing in Conference USA, at the FBS level, is going about as good as they could’ve hoped for.
