As the Bears cut their roster from 90 to 53 ahead of the deadline Tuesday, they plan to put running back Ian Wheeler, wide receiver and return man Nsimba Webster and safety Douglas Coleman III on injured reserve.
Douglas hurt his neck tackling Chiefs receiver Cornell Powell in the final preseason game Thursday and was hospitalized overnight in Kansas City. He was back at Halas Hall on Saturday, though the team has not specified the extent of his injury.
Wheeler has been a star on “Hard Knocks” amid his longshot bid to make the team, and that pursuit is on hold after tearing his ACL in the Chiefs game.
