Bears Place Two on IR Elevate Three Ahead Ravens Game

The Baltimore Ravens have ruled out quarterback Lamar Jackson for their Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury, while elevating defensive tackle Taven Bryan and rookie defensive back Keondre Jackson from the practice squad to provide depth. Bryan, a former first-round pick with experience on multiple teams, will make his Ravens debut, and Jackson will continue contributing primarily on special teams. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears have made several roster adjustments, placing key players Braxton Jones and Kyler Gordon on injured reserve, which will sideline them for at least four games. To bolster their lineup, the Bears signed defensive lineman Jonathan Ford to the active roster and elevated practice squad members tight end Stephen Carlson and cornerback Dallis Flowers for the upcoming game against the Ravens. Ford has been part of three Bears victories this season, while Carlson and Flowers bring additional depth and special teams experience. These moves reflect both teams’ efforts to manage injuries and enhance their competitiveness as they prepare for the divisional showdown.
