You can add one more to the IR. Ah well, Glenn has been playing better than Fuller anyway. The younger players are gonna get a lot of experience on that D this year.
Bears place cornerback Kyle Fuller on injured reserve LAKE FOREST, IL - MAY 18: By: Lorin Cox | 6 hours ago
The Chicago Bears might have some of the worst injury luck in the NFL as even minor nicks and bruises have become much worse. Add cornerback Kyle Fuller to the list of nightmare injury situations now, as the team added him to the injured reserve list on Tuesday, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rappoport.
Fuller had arthroscopic knee surgery on August 18 that cleaned up an injury that John Fox said at the time “was kind of bothering [Fuller].” After the procedure, he was “week-to-week,” but there was hope that might have been able to play in the season opener.
Three games went by and Fuller was limited in practices as recent as last week, but evidently the Bears didn’t like the progress he was making with his injury and decided to shut him down, at least for the immediate future.
Fuller is eligible to come off of injured reserve in eight weeks, meaning he could make his debut Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. It’s hard to know for sure if his injury will have improved enough by then or if this is truly an injury that ended his season before it began.
Was this the same kind of knee scope McPhee got? If so it seems both may be on the shelf at least until after the bye week. Perfect storm for going 1-7 or something like that. I remember when the Bulls said Noah had his knee scoped and he was never the same after that. Different sport and possible a slightly different operation.

Could also be having surgery.
Broken tibia? Didn't they put a rod in it, or was it the other leg? I mean, drink some milk or something. What are this kids bones made of?
EDIT: Never mind. The rod was in the shin. Hell, they should have just rodded up the whole leg and that way he could at least fall down without breaking something.
