Chicago Bears' Andrew Billings Lands on IR Following Season-Ending Surgery, Leaving a Gap in Defensive Leadership
Thursday, November 7th, 2024
The Chicago Bears nose tackle Andrew Billings had surgery to address a torn pectoral muscle and is now on injured reserve. He is anticipated to miss the entire 2024 season.
Billings sustained the injury during the game against Arizona in Week 9 and was unable to return for the rest of the match. Since joining the Bears in 2023, he has participated in all 25 games and had signed a contract extension last season.
Eric Washington, the Bears' defensive coordinator, highlighted the impact of Billings' absence, noting his physical presence and leadership.
The Bears plan to utilize a mix of players, including Zacch Pickens, Chris Williams, and Byron Cowart, to compensate for Billings' role on the team.
