Blackwell (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 24-year-old isn't the biggest loss to the Bears' defense, as he's only recorded four total tackles through two appearances this season.
