Bears Place Darnell Mooney, Eddie Jackson On IR
2 years agoThe Chicago Bears placed wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) and safety Eddie Jackson (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, effectively ending their seasons. Mooney injured his ankle in the Week 12 loss to the New York Jets, and he'll need season-ending surgery. He was a disappointment for his fantasy managers in 2022 a year after going for 81 catches, 1,055 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. He finishes this season with 40 receptions for 493 yards and two scores in 12 games. Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown, Dane Pettis and rookie Velus Jones Jr. will take on bigger roles in the passing attack with Mooney's season over. Jackson suffered a Lisfranc foot injury in Week 12 and will also miss the rest of the year. It's a serious blow to Chicago's secondary moving forward.
