The Bears designated Pringle (calf) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Bears to evaluate Pringle in practice, and he's eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster at any point during that three-week span. The calf injury has sidelined Pringle since Week 3, but once healthy, Pringle should take on a depth role within the Bears' receiving corps.
