The second-year quarterback is expected to undergo surgery in a few weeks and will need 7-to-10 months of rehabilitation.
Grossman completed 21-of-31 passes for 248 yards against Minnesota. In three games this season, he has thrown for 607 yards on 47-of-84 passing with one touchdown and three interceptions.
The Bears filled Grossman's roster spot by signing quarterback Chad Hutchinson, who most recently played with the Dallas Cowboys.
