Bears place Roquan Smith on IR with torn pec

Chicago Bears linebacker and former Georgia Bulldog Roquan Smith will miss the rest of the 2019 season with a torn pectoral muscle injury.

Chicago linebacker Roquan Smith will miss the rest of the 2019 season with a torn pectoral muscle injury. The Chicago Bears defeated the Dallas Cowboys 31-24 earlier this week, but they lost one of their best players in the process. The second year linebacker out of Georgia is a key cog in Chicago’s dominant defense.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy confirmed Smith is now being placed on IR:

It’s a big loss for the 7-6 Bears who are fighting to stay in the NFC playoff race. Chicago will miss Roquan especially after his historic Thanksgiving performance:
