A rough season just got worse for the Bears. The team will place linebacker Leonard Floyd on injured reserve, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Floyd was carted off the field during Sunday’s loss to the Lions. He escaped without an ACL injury, but did sprain his MCL and PCL. He may need surgery to repair the damage, but it could be worse.
“But it was good to hear it wasn’t the ACL. It was MCL, PCL,” head coach John Fox said Wednesday on his weekly radio show on Chicago’s WBBM-AM 780. “It will require some work to get him fixed, but obviously better news that the total reconstruction.”
Floyd shared his thoughts via Twitter after the injury.
The Bears selected Floyd with the ninth overall pick in the 2016 draft. He had 34 tackles this season, and he was second on the team with 4.5 sacks.
