The Chicago Bears announced Tuesday that they’ve officially placed RT Bobby Massie on injured reserve with a knee injury and promoted OT Lachavious Simmons to their active roster. 

The Bear also signed OL Aaron Neary to their practice squad. 

Hereโ€™s the Bear updated practice squad:

It’s worth mentioning that the NFL changed the rules regarding injured reserve for the 2020 season and players can return from the list in just three weeks. 

Massie, 31, is a former fourth-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2012. He played out his rookie contract with the Cardinals before agreeing to a three-year, $18 million contract with the Bears in 2016. 

Massie was in line to be an unrestricted free agent last year when he agreed to a four-year extension worth over $32 million.

In 2020, Massie has appeared in eight games for the Bears, making eight starts at right tackle.
