Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle, coach Matt Nagy announced Monday.
Smith sustained the injury on a touchdown run by Ezekiel Elliott during the first quarter of Thursday’s 31-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
The 22-year-old finishes the season with a team-leading 101 tackles to go along with two sacks and an interception.
Smith has recorded 223 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions in 28 career games since being selected by the Bears with the eighth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Kevin Pierre-Louis replaced Smith on defense for the remainder of Thursday’s game.
The Bears (7-6) visit the Green Bay Packers (10-3) on Sunday.
