The Chicago Bears have placed rookie fifth-round pick Jordan Morgan on injured reserve, according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Bears have yet to announce the injury Morgan suffered.

Morgan struggled this preseason and his roster spot was far from a lock. Chicago likes to stash young players on injured reserve, like they did with Roy Robertson-Harris last year.

Morgan has upside, but he needs to get stronger in his effort to adapt to the NFL game. His jump from Kutztown has been as difficult as advertised.

The Bears are working their way to the final 53-man roster, and aside from WR Tanner Gentry, there hasn’t been any real surprise cuts.

Morgan would’ve qualified as one. He’s safe, for now.
