Chicago Bears defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris is done for the 2020 season.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Robertson-Harris will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
#Bears disruptive DT Roy Robertson-Harris is having season-ending shoulder surgery this week, sources say. A blow to the Chicago defense, but Robertson-Harris will be healthy by March to have a nice payday in free agency.

Roy Robertson-Harris didn't play for the Bears in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Chicago lost by a final score of 24-17. The Bears have lost three games in a row and are now 5-4 on the season.
Robertson-Harris recorded seven solo tackles for the Bears this season. He becomes a free agent after the 2020 campaign finishes. Chicago re-signed the 27-year-old to a one-year, $3.26 million contract on April 15.
After starting the season 5-1, the Bears appear on their way to missing the playoffs for the second straight campaign. The team's offense is a joke, as Chicago has arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL.
The defense, led by Khalil Mack, has been playing well all year, but the offense hasn't helped them out and it has led to three straight losses to the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints and Titans.
The Bears, who are in second place in the NFC North standings, will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. Dalvin Cook is the hottest running back in the NFL right now, so Chicago will have its hands full with him, especially now that Robertson-Harris is out for good.
In 52 games with the Bears, Robertson-Harris has 7.5 sacks and 47 solo tackles. He will be sorely missed.
