Bears second-year TE Adam Shaheen (ankle/foot) will be placed on injured reserve, but he's a "likely" candidate to return after spending eight weeks on I.R., GM Ryan Pace said Sunday. Shaheen led the Bears with three receiving touchdowns as a rookie despite being underused by John Fox and Dowell Loggains. The Bears' $16.1 million allocated to their TE room is the third-most in the NFL at the position, according to spotrac.com. Brown and Braunecker each thrived in the preseason, though Brown suffered a shoulder injury in the finale. The Bears drafted Cody Whitehair and James Daniels, respectively, in the following two offseasons, first signaling Grasu's dicey roster status.
