On Saturday, the Chicago Bears placed three players on injured reserve, ending their chance to play in the 2024 regular season. One of the players was a fan-favorite undrafted rookie running back who had a strong preseason appearance.

The Chicago Bears suffered serious injuries on Thursday night

A few players suffered significant injuries on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Cornerback Douglas Coleman was hospitalized for a neck injury. Head coach Matt Eberflus said Coleman was released from the hospital on Friday and returning to Chicago.

According to Adam Hoge with CHGO Sports, Coleman and wide receiver Nsimba Webster (groin injury) were placed on injured reserve. They will miss the season because they are set to hit injured reserve before the 53-man roster is finalized on Aug. 27.

Fan favorite running back Ian Wheeler to miss season

According to Dan Wiederer with the Chicago Tribune, Ian Wheeler is also headed to injured reserve, effectively ending his season. Wheeler suffered an ACL tear on Thursday night against the Chiefs.

Wheeler was a fan favorite in Chicago after his appearance on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer. The former Howard standout deferred medical school to fulfill his dream of making an NFL roster.

After his performance against the Buffalo Bills in the preseason, there was some thinking that Wheeler had an outside shot of making the Bears practice squad. He ran the ball five times for 43 yards and two touchdowns against the Bills.

Wheeler finished the preseason with 52 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. In his final game against the Chiefs, Wheeler ran five times for five yards, averaging one yard per rush.
