Fries (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Fries' move to IR was expected after the Penn State product suffered a fractured tibia in Week 5's loss to the Jaguars, which led to him undergoing surgery in Jacksonville on Sunday night. It's not clear yet how much time the 26-year-old will miss; however, his placement on injured reserve guarantees he'll be sidelined for at least the team's next four games, although his absence is likely to extend beyond that.
