Trevathan heads to IR
The Bears have placed inside linebacker Danny Trevathan on injured reserve because of a left elbow injury. Trevathan has not played since Nov. 10 when his arm bent awkwardly as he tried to sack Jeff Driskel in a win over Detroit. The team leader at the time with 50 tackles, Trevathan ran off with his arm dangling by his side. His future is uncertain. Tevathan has an expiring contract and has finished two of the past four seasons on injured reserve. Chicago promoted cornerback Michael Joseph from the practice squad to the active roster.
Lions add to depleted defensive unit
The Lions signed free agent defensive tackle Jamie Meder. The 28-year-old Meder has not played in a regular-season game since the 2017 season. Meder started 15 games for the Cleveland Browns in 2016 and made one start the following season. He spent four seasons with Cleveland, appearing in 43 games. The Lions play at Denver on Sunday. They have been hurt by injuries on both sides of the ball, and they put quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve earlier this week.
