The moves are frantic and fast this week.

The Chicago Bears announced on Thursday that they have placed injured receiver N'Keal Harry on injured reserve with his ankle injury.

Harry will be eligible to return to the active roster after four games.

In 2021, Harry had 12 catches for 184 yards with the Patriots.

In other news, the Bears filled out their 16-player practice squad with two new additions with veteran linebacker Joe Thomas and rookie offensive lineman Kellen Diesch.

Thomas was waived Tuesday by the Bears and Diesch was formerly with the Dolphins.

Thomas is a veteran with 218 tackles, 12 tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception, 10 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery during his NFL career with four different teams.

Diesch is an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State.
