Bears placed MLB Brian Urlacher (wrist surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season.
The bad news is that Chicago's 2009 defense takes a major hit, and Urlacher will be 32 the next time he steps onto the field. The good news is his injury wasn't to his legs, and Urlacher won't necessarily lose any range or explosiveness. His salary is $6.8 million next year, but he'll return as a starter. Urlacher was very active in Week 1 before his unlucky season-ending injury.
