LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears placed Cody Whitehair on injured reserve Wednesday after the left guard sustained a right knee injury in a Week 4 loss to the New York Giants.
Bears coach Matt Eberflus reiterated Whitehair’s injury is not considered season-ending. The offensive lineman will be eligible to return ahead of the Week 9 home game against the Miami Dolphins.
In the meantime, Eberflus said the team will stick with the same offensive line combination it used when Whitehair exited in the second quarter Sunday: Braxton Jones at left tackle, Lucas Patrick at left guard, Sam Mustipher at center, Teven Jenkins at right guard and Larry Borom at right tackle.
