Bears make roster move after injury concerns in secondary

The Chicago Bears continued to address their injury-depleted secondary on Tuesday, signing rookie defensive back Marlen Sewell while placing defensive lineman Jonathan Garvin on injured reserve. Sewell arrives as the Bears search for additional depth following the loss of safety Coby Bryant, who is expected to miss 8-10 weeks with a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and small fracture. Garvin's placement on injured reserve likely ends his 2026 season with Chicago unless he is released with an injury settlement or becomes eligible to return through another roster mechanism.
