The Bears placed Billings (pectoral) on injured reserve Thursday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Billings suffered a pectoral injury in the Bears' Week 9 loss to the Cardinals and underwent successful surgery earlier Thursday, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. The 29-year-old defensive tackle is without a clear timeline for a return to game action, but he'll have to miss at least four contests after being placed on IR.

Billings is set to undergo surgery to address a pectoral injury he sustained Sunday at Arizona and is expected to be out for a prolonged period, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The severity of Billings' injury wasn't immediately clear when it forced him out of the Bears' contest in Week 10, but it's now clear that he's dealing with a serious issue. In his stead, Chris Williams could move into a starting role on the defensive line.

Billings suffered a pectoral injury during Sunday's 29-9 loss to the Cardinals, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. The starting defensive tackle exited the game and did not return after making three tackles (one solo). Billings has 13 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024. Zacch Pickens and Chris Williams are Chicago's backup defensive tackles.

Billings recorded 27 tackles over 17 games in his first season with the Bears and will likely continue in a part-time role in 2024. Billings played between 25 and 35 snaps in all but four games. There were only three occasions in which the veteran surpassed two tackles. With second-year players Gervon Dexter and Zacch Pickens possibly taking a step forward, it's possible that Billings could see a slight dip in snaps. That would make the low-floor IDP value of Billings even lower.

Billings notched two tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Playing on the fourth team in his six-year career, Billings had one of his least productive seasons by recording 27 tackles over 17 games. The veteran defensive tackle is signed through 2025, but he'll go into 2024 as a low-upside IDP.
