The Chicago Bears placed right guard Ryan Bates on the injured list on Saturday because of shoulder and elbow issues. He will miss at least the next four games, beginning with Sunday night’s contest against the host Houston Texans.
Bates, 27, was on the field for 38 offensive snaps, playing the majority of the time while rotating with starting right guard Nate Davis (18 snaps), in the 24-17 home victory over the Tennessee Titans last Sunday.
Bates played for the Buffalo Bills from 2019-23, appearing in 73 regular-season games (19 starts) and nine playoff games (four starts). He was traded to the Bears on March 13 for a 2024 fifth-round draft pick.
Chicago also signed long snapper Scott Daly from the practice squad and elevated receiver Collin Johnson from the practice squad on Saturday. Daly played against the Titans in place of the injured Patrick Scales, who is recovering from back surgery.
Receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
