Bears Expected To Place Kyle Long On Injured Reserve Again

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Bears offensive line will most likely have a new look when they take on the New Orleans Saints next week.

According to a national report, veteran Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long will be put on injured reserve because of a lingering hip injury.

This will be his fourth straight season going on IR, and the earliest he could return would be in eight weeks.

The Bears are on a bye week this week. They play the Saints on Sunday.
