Chicago Bears Tackle Placed on Injured Reserve, Arizona Cardinals Offensive Lineman Activated
Chicago Bears Tackle Teven Jenkins Placed on Injured Reserve
The Chicago Bears have placed tackle Teven Jenkins on injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday. Jenkins suffered a back injury in the Bears' Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and will now miss at least the next four games. The Bears are already thin at tackle, so Jenkins' injury is a significant blow. Rookie Braxton Jones is expected to start in Jenkins' place, but he is still inexperienced. The Bears may also consider signing a veteran tackle to provide depth.Arizona Cardinals Offensive Lineman Justin Pugh Activated from Injured Reserve
The Arizona Cardinals have activated offensive lineman Justin Pugh from injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday. Pugh suffered a knee injury in the Cardinals' Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but he is now healthy enough to return to the lineup. Pugh is a key piece of the Cardinals' offensive line, and his return is a boost for the team. Pugh is a veteran with a lot of experience, and he will help to stabilize the Cardinals' offensive line.The Cardinals are currently 1-1 on the season, and they will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. The Rams have a strong defense, so the Cardinals will need to be at their best to win. Pugh's return should help the Cardinals' offense to perform at a high level.
