Bears' Josh Blackwell: Heads to IR
Blackwell (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Blackwell wasn't able practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury during Chicago's Week 3 loss to Kansas City, making it no surprise that he's been placed on IR. The loss of the 24-year-old isn't the biggest to the Bears' defense, as he's recorded only four total tackles through two appearances this season.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Doubtful Sunday
Blackwell (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The second-year corner out of Duke was held out of Thursday and Friday's practices after participating in a limited fashion earlier in the week. If Blackwell were to miss Sunday's contest, Greg Stroman and Jaylon Jones would most likely see more opportunities in Chicago's secondary.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Ends season on injured reserve
Blackwell ended the season with 23 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 16 games played.
Blackwell (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 18. Through Week 12, he was primarily used on special teams, but afterward, he played at least 34 snaps on three occasions, and he recorded four or five tackles in each of those games.
