Bears Make Roster Move After Grim Update on Colston Loveland

The Chicago Bears are calling up another tight end for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders after the latest update on first-round pick Colston Loveland.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Loveland is not expected to play in Week 4’s road game against the Raiders because of the hip injury he sustained in last week’s victory.

Loveland exited in the second quarter of Week 3’s win over the Dallas Cowboys with a hip injury and did not return for the remainder of the game. He also missed the first two practices this week but returned in a limited capacity for Friday’s walkthrough and received a questionable designation in the team’s final injury report for Week 4’s game.

On Saturday, the Bears also elevated veteran tight end Stephen Carlson to the game-day roster against the Raiders, adding depth behind starter Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe.

Carlson has been with the Bears for the past two seasons, but he has spent most of that time on their practice squad, recording no statistics in the only game he has played for them back in 2023. He did catch six of his nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in 25 games with the Cleveland Browns during the first two seasons of his career, though.

The Bears (1-2) will kick off against the Raiders (1-2) at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
