The blows just keep coming for the Chicago Bears, as edge rusher Khalil Mack is being placed on injured reserve to have season-ending foot surgery, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Mack suffered a foot injury against the Cleveland Browns back in Week 3. Despite missing practice in the ensuing weeks, he didn’t miss a game until Week 8.
The Bears were trying to let Mack rest — giving him two games off and an additional bye week — but ultimately the decision has been made for surgery, which ends his season.

More to come.
