Bears cornerback Charles Tillman will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve with a torn right triceps he sustained in Sunday night’s win over the 49ers.

Tillman suffered the injury in the third quarter while being blocked by receiver Michael Crabtree as quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran toward the Bears sideline. Tillman bent over and grabbed his arm and later was captured by TV cameras with tears streaming down his face on the bench.

“I know this feeling way too well, but this isn’t the end of the road for me. As I rehab my injury, my role will transition to helping coach and support my teammates. I will be at Halas Hall and do everything I can to help our team reach its goals.”
