LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears placed star right guard Kyle Long on injured reserve because of an ankle injury on Tuesday.The announcement comes two days after the three-time Pro Bowl lineman was taken from the field on a cart during a loss at Tampa Bay. Its another big blow for a team hit hard by injuries all year and staggering at 2-7 after an embarrassing blowout loss by the Buccaneers.The Bears visit the New York Giants this week.Long was injured in the second quarter when Paul Lasike rolled up on his right ankle as he corralled a shovel pass from Jay Cutler. Long stayed down for several minutes while being tended to by medical personnel. He banged on the cart trying to fire up his team as he was taken from the field.Its been a rough season for Long, who signed a four-year extension through 2021 in September. He has also been dealing with a left shoulder injury since the preseason.Drafted with the 20th overall pick in 2013, Long has made 55 starts in four seasons. He is one of seven Bears to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first three professional seasons along with Brian Urlacher, Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, Mike Ditka, Rick Casares and Harlon Hill.The Bears also signed defensive lineman CJ Wilson and offensive lineman Cornelius Edison, activated receiver Marquess Wilson from the physically unable to perform list and placed defensive lineman Will Sutton on IR because of an ankle injury.CJ Wilson won a Super Bowl with Green Bay and has 111 tackles with in seven seasons with the Packers, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions.Edison was waived by the Bears last week.Marquess Wilson suffered a foot injury in training camp.

The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. Every now and then, Australia netball coach Lisa Alexander has to remind herself that her team arent quite as experienced as she thinks.Given the poise with which theyve inflicted two 12-goal losses on New Zealand in the four-Test Constellation Cup series, its not surprising Alexander has high expectations.Theres very little doubt the Diamonds will retain the Constellation Cup, given New Zealand need to win the fourth and final Test in Invercargill on Thursday by 22 goals to regain the trophy theyve won only once in six years.But the Silver Ferns stung Australia last week with a 53-51 second Test win in Launceston, leaving Alexander wary of taking too much for granted at Stadium Southland in two days time.She points out that only two of the team who won last years netball World Cup took the court in Saturdays 62-50 thumping of New Zealand: shooter Caitlin Bassett and midcourter Kim Ravaillion.You kind of forget that sometimes - you have to remind yourself, Alexander told NZ Newswire.It sounds like theres some old combinations there, but there isnt. Theyre new, and were learning more and more about that group.Part of that learning is analysing the hiccupss which led to their narrow second-Test loss, a defeat which still rankles slightly with Alexander.dddddddddddde went right back to the basics of how we prepare for each Test - you cant just think its going to be nice and easy, like it was in Sydney.I think in Launceston, a little bit was taken for granted.She says the Diamonds win in Auckland showed a distinct improvement, but theyll have to lift again in Invercargill.Its doing all the little things well - the defensive transitions, making sure we secure possession powerfully.We have to think about how we can improve on everything we did the other night.The Silver Ferns have also been missing some key players, in particular goal attack Maria Tutaia, whose 30 minutes in the third Test was her first outing for New Zealand in more than a year.With Kayla Cullen injured, theyve also been forced to play centre Laura Langman on the wing while Shannon Francois takes over the midcourt role.I think for both teams, there are new players and new combinations, and that always takes time.
