Ricky Stromberg: Everything you need to know

The Bears placed Stromberg (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday. Stromberg will now be sidelined for at least the next four weeks. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season but will look to make his debut once he's healthy.

Stromberg saw action in Sunday's preseason game against the Bills, indicating that he's past the concussion issue that sidelined him in late July. The center played on 33 offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four regular-season games through two NFL seasons. While Drew Dalman is projected to start for Chicago, Stromberg can compete for the backup role with 2022 sixth-round pick Doug Kramer.

Stromberg (head) entered the concussion protocol Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. If the center is diagnosed with a concussion, he will need to go through the NFL's five-step recovery process before returning to the field. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four NFL games with Washington and Chicago across two seasons. He probably needs to be available during training camp to have a chance to make the roster behind starter Drew Dalman.
