Ian Rapoport reports that Bears’ DT Roy Robertson-Harris is set to have season-ending shoulder surgery.
Rapoport also adds that Robertson-Harris will likely be healthy enough by free agency in 2021 to receive a decent contract.
You can expect the Bears to place him on injured reserve in the coming days and add someone to their roster.
Robertson-Harris, 27, signed with the Bears in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of UTEP. He was able to stick on the final 53-man roster and re-signed as an exclusive rights free agent on a $645,000 deal in 2019.
The Bears placed a second-round tender worth $3.27 million on Robertson-Harris in 2020. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021.
In 2020, Robertson-Harris appeared in eight games for the Bears and recorded ten total tackles.
