The Bears are hanging onto a late 27-20 lead, but they may be getting some bad news.

A cart just came onto the field to haul defensive tackle Henry Melton off the field.

Melton appeared to injure his left knee, and won’t return tonight.

Melton’s playing out the season on the franchise tender of $8.45 million, having failed to get a long-term deal from the Bears this offseason.
