Bears place receiver on IR

Here is a segment reported by Larry Mayer earlier on Tuesday:

"The Bears on Tuesday placed receiver Byron Pringle on injured reserve and signed linebacker Joe Thomas off their practice squad.

Pringle exited Sunday's win over the Texans with a calf injury in the first half after catching one pass for 11 yards. In his first season with the Bears, the five-year NFL veteran has two receptions for 33 yards.

Pringle must miss a minimum of four games, which means he won't be eligible to play until Oct. 30 against the Cowboys in Dallas."

Hopefully Pringle is able to come back quickly. I still believe he could be a solid contributor on the offense.
