The Chicago Bears made a handful of roster on moves on Saturday.

They placed running back Lorenzo Booker on injured reserve, elevated running back Armando Allen to the active roster from the practice squad and waived linebacker Patrick Trahan.

Booker sustained a head injury in the club's final preseason game at Cleveland.

Allen ran the ball 15 times for 48 yards in two games for the Bears last season.
