The Bears reverted Coleman (upper body) to injured reserve Wednesday.
Coleman was hurt in Chicago's preseason finale last Thursday and exited the field on a backboard. He was released from the hospital the following day and was waived/injured by the Bears on Saturday. Because he's cleared waivers, Coleman will miss the entire 2024 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
