Returning to action in Week 17 Kramer (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Seahawks.

Inactive for Week 16 Kramer (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact Kramer was added to the Bears' injury report Saturday due to a shoulder injury. After downgrading from questionable to doubtful, the 2022 sixth-round pick has now been ruled out for Sunday's NFC North clash. Kramer's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Seahawks on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Bumped down to doubtful Updating a previous report, Kramer (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact Kramer has yet to make a start, but he does provide depth on the offensive line and special teams. If he doesn't suit up Sunday, it will be the first game he hasn't seen any action all season.

Now questionable for Week 16 The Bears added Kramer (shoulder) to the injury report Saturday, listing him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kramer has appeared in all 14 games this season, seeing 84 snaps on offense and another 44 on special teams. The interior lineman has yet to make a start, but losing him would be a hit to Chicago's depth, as it would leave only Chris Glaser as the top center and guard backup.

Activated Saturday Kramer (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact The 2022 sixth-round pick out of Illinois has been on IR since the beginning of September with an unknown injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Kramer has been added to Chicago's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, and he'll likely play some form of depth role on the team's offensive line.

Heading to IR Chicago placed Kramer (lower leg) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Impact The move means Kramer will miss the entire 2022 season unless he works out an injury settlement with the Bears. Until Lucas Patrick (thumb) is back in action, Sam Mustipher will likely see extended reps snapping the ball during practice.

Dealing with lower-leg injury Kramer is dealing with a lower-leg injury and there's no timetable for his return, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Kramer was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft after a solid career at Illinois. He played a team-high 48 offensive snaps during the Bears preseason opener, so expect Sam Mustipher, among others, to get extended reps if Kramer is sidelined for Thursday's exhibition game against Seattle.

Staying in-state, headed to Chicago The Bears selected Kramer in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 207th overall.
Impact Kramer is an undersized center from Illinois, but he might make it as an NFL center anyway thanks to his standout athleticism (4.95-second 40). He'll be a worthwhile developmental center for the Bears.
