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.

Kramer (undisclosed) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Bears' Doug Kramer: Pulled from game Saturday
Rotowire
Kramer was removed from Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills after suffering an undisclosed injury, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com.
Kramer apparently suffered an injury during the first half, leaving it unclear if he'll return before the end of Saturday's contest. The 2022 sixth-round pick currently projects as the Bears' third-string center behind Cody Whitehair and Lucas Patrick. Therefore, Kramer is likely a longshot to make the final 53-man roster.
