Cornerback Kyle Fuller missed the first three games of the season and the prognosis for his return is not promising, which led the Chicago Bears to place him on injured reserve Tuesday.
Fuller, a first-round pick in 2014 with a history of injuries, had arthroscopic knee surgery and was limited most of the summer. Fuller was not an impact player in his first season in Vic Fangio's defense, which calls for increased man-to-man responsibilities.
