The Bears put returner DeAndre Carter on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season.

Carter, who had nine catches for 72 yards as a wide receiver this season, left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury after being hit in the first quarter.

Carter was replaced on punt returns by cornerback Josh Blackwell and on kick returns by Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans.

The Bears also signed defensive lineman Jonathan Ford off the Packers’ practice squad. Ford was a seventh-round pick out of Auburn two years ago and hasn’t appeared in a regular season game.
