The Bears placed Stromberg (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Stromberg will now be sidelined for at least the next four weeks. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season but will look to make his debut once he's healthy.

Stromberg saw action in Sunday's preseason game against the Bills, indicating that he's past the concussion issue that sidelined him in late July.
EDGE Analysis
The center played on 33 offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four regular-season games through two NFL seasons. While Drew Dalman is projected to start for Chicago, Stromberg can compete for the backup role with 2022 sixth-round pick Doug Kramer.

Stromberg (head) entered the concussion protocol Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
If the center is diagnosed with a concussion, he will need to go through the NFL's five-step recovery process before returning to the field. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four NFL games with Washington and Chicago across two seasons. He probably needs to be available during training camp to have a chance to make the roster behind starter Drew Dalman.

Stromberg (knee) signed with the Bears' practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year center from Arkansas was dropped from the Commanders' injured reserve list with an injury settlement in early September, but it now appears he's moved past his knee issue. Stromberg could find his way on to Chicago's active roster in the near future, especially after the Bears released Nate Davis (back) on Tuesday.

Stromberg is undergoing a right knee scope that will sideline him for approximately seven-to-eight weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stromberg agreed to an injury settlement with the Commanders on Monday, which allows him to sign with any team during the season once he's recovered from his knee scope. The 23-year-old center appeared in just four games and played 28 total snaps with Washington during his rookie campaign, but a team could definitely add the 2023 third-round pick to their practice squad or active roster once he's healthy again.

The Commanders waived Stromberg (undisclosed) off injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Stromberg was in line to miss all of 2024 after he was placed on IR in late August, but he and the Commanders were able to agree on an injury settlement Monday. Once the 2023 third-round pick out of Arkansas is past his injury, he'll be free to find work elsewhere.

Stromberg had appeared in only four games this season, playing a total of 28 snaps (26 on offense and two on special teams).
