Odeyingbo had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, and he'll now be required to miss at least the next four contests. The 27-year-old is second on the team with 3.0 sacks this season. His placement on injured reserve coupled with Montez Sweat's PED suspension is a big hit to the Bears' pass rush.
