The Bears have placed Danny Trevathan injured reserve, per a club announcement. This marks the veteran linebacker’s second trip to IR, which will officially shut him down for the rest of the season. In related moves, the Bears have officially signed linebacker Bruce Irvin while promoting fellow LB Cassius Marsh to the 53-man roster.

Trevathan, 31, has been with the Bears since 2016. A training camp knee injury camp sidelined him to start the year, but the 10th-year linebacker returned after missing the first four games. His presence alongside Roquan Smith figured to strengthen Chicago’s defense, but he wasn’t able to stick around for long. Appearing mostly as a reserve, Trevathan registered just 19 tackles across five games and appeared in roughly one-quarter of Chicago’s snaps. That’s a big drop from last year when Trevathan turned in a full slate, registered 113 stops, and lifted the Bears to the playoffs.
Even with Trevathan in the lineup, the Bears have sunk to 3-6 on the year. Now, they’re out to stop their four-game skid against the Ravens without one of their key defenders.
Trevathan is no stranger to injuries, having missed a ton of time since 2016. Still, he’s been a starter for most of his Bears tenure and remains under contract through 2022, thanks to the three-year pact he inked in 2020.
So now Marsh is on the roster which makes the Bears a little dumber and makes Nagy a little happier. After all, the only thing that makes him look smarter is to have players even dumber than himself. Mission accomplished. I wonder why a class act like Bruce Irvin would hitch himself to this wagon to nowhere? Sign me, Wishing for a Nagy-Pace free world. Sooner the better.
Class act? Trouble with the law in college, 4 game suspension for substance abuse, and first player to be ejected from a SB for throwing a punch. Yes, he is a peach.
If he hasn’t been in jail for over 1 year, he’s a reformed priest in this league. Class Act might have been a stretch, but I still wonder exactly what he sees in the Nagy freak show.
I bet he sees a team that is actually willing to sign him and pay him. He’s been unsigned all year!
It’s gonna be a tough weekend against Baltimore.
Unless the Ravens do another imitation of the Orioles this weekend.
And the hits keep comin’.
lol..Bears are gonna Bears..
Thought he was already on IR as I don’t remember seeing him all year…
