Bears place Lance Briggs on injured reserve
Jerry Lai / USA Today
The Chicago Bears have placed linebacker Lance Briggs on injured reserve with a groin injury, ending his season.
The veteran may be at the end of the line in his NFL career, as he's talked openly about this being his last season with the Bears.
Briggs turned 34 last month and clearly wasn't the same player on the field he was earlier in his career when he was among the best OLBs

Briggs, a seven-time Pro Bowler, is fifth on the Bears all-time list of games played - behind only Walter Payton, Olin Kreutz, Brian Urlacher and Mike Singletary.
