Jake Roth / USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyle Fuller on injured reserve with a knee injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Fuller is eligible to return to the lineup after eight weeks.

The 24-year-old underwent arthroscopic knee surgery five weeks ago and has missed all three games this season.

"I have to do what my body tells me," Fuller said via Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times. "(My return) didn’t go as fast as I would expect it. But it is what it is."

Fuller was selected 14th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Virginia Tech.
