The Chicago Bears suffered a potential blow this weekend as wide receiver N’Keal Harry appeared to go down Saturday with a serious ankle injury, per ESPN. The Bears are awaiting further evaluation and are just hoping for the best at this point.
Harry is trade Less than a month ago, from the New England Patriots to the Bears in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round pick. The ASU product was selected by the Patriots with a final first-round pick in 2019 and is regarded as one of the top perimeter players in the class. However, he struggled to carve out a role for himself under Bill Belichick.
In 33 career games, Harry had 57 passes for 598 yards and four touchdowns. He suffered multiple injuries during his first three seasons, and trade rumors quickly abounded. The deal finally came this offseason, and many were interested to see if changing the environment would unlock his potential.
If Harry misses important time, it will certainly be a blow to the Bears. The wide receiving team was seen as the team’s weakness as it was led by Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle, the calm St. Brown and rookie Velus Jones Jr. There’s a good chance Chicago will be a free agent receiver again.
