Martellus Bennett's strong performance in 2014 helped solidify the veteran tight end's place among the NFL's best at the position, but his time with the Chicago Bears could soon come to an end following an up-and-down year both on and off the field in 2015.
After registering 53 catches for 439 yards with three touchdowns in 11 games this year, the Bears placed Bennett on injured reserve earlier this week, according to the team's official Twitter page:
