The Bears have placed offensive lineman Ryan Bates on injured reserve, meaning he’ll miss at least four games. Bates had shared time at right guard during last week’s win over the Titans. To fill the gaps, the team signed long snapper Scott Daly from the practice squad and elevated receiver Collin Johnson. Daly will replace the injured Patrick Scales for the upcoming game against the Texans. Bates could return for the Bears’ Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars in London.
