Bears place new receiver on injured reserve
Adam Hoge reported that the Bears officially placed WR N'Keal Harry on IR. He will miss at least the first 4 games.
Harry's tumultuous three years with the New England Patriots finally came to an end a few months ago when he was traded to the Chicago Bears. However, the change of scenery hasn't really changed much for him, though, as the 6-foot-4, 225-pound wide receiver was off to a rocky start with the Bears.
Indeed, he suffered a high ankle sprain during training camp and he did not even get the chance to show what he could do in preseason.
With Harry being placed on IR, this means that he will miss at least the first four games of the season, but he should be ready for a comeback in Week 5. He will look to bounce back following a dreadful final season with the Patriots. The 24-year-old made just 12 receptions for 184 yards and no touchdowns last year. Harry caught just 57 passes on 103 targets during his time in New England.
I think his size could bring a big advantage to the Bears' offense that desperately needs a big presence on the outside. While I think Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle, and Velus Jones can be solid players, they simply cannot match the physicality that Harry can bring to the table.
