Bears' Lamarr Houston tears ACL while celebrating
The Chicago Bears' embarrassing day in New England has been made a lot worse because of injury. Defensive end Lamarr Houston will miss the season with a torn ACL, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday according to a source informed of his MRI Results.
Houston hurt his knee while celebrating a sack late in the fourth quarter of the Bears' loss.
'I probably shouldn't have celebrated like that, but it happens,' Houston said after the game, via Shalise Manza Young of The Boston Globe.
It will be a tough moment for Houston to live down. He was celebrating after sacking Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo, who was only in the game because it was such a blowout. The Bears trailed by 25 points with under four minutes left at the time of the sack. It was Houston's first sack of the year after signing a $35 million contract in the offseason.
Houston and Jared Allen have both struggled to improve the team's pass rush. The Bears also are waiting to hear test results on guard Matt Slauson, who had a pectoral injury Monday.
