LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears placed former Pro Bowl right guard Kyle Long on injured reserve with an injured hip, the team announced Monday.
Long has ended up on injured reserve in each of the past four seasons. He managed to return in Week 17 of the 2018 season and started in a home wild-card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This year was supposed to be a new beginning for Long, who was healthy enough to participate in the offseason program and training camp.
But while Long opened the regular season in good shape, he suffered a hip injury during practice leading up to the game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept.
