Tyrique Stevenson committed a football crime, and now he's serving the football sentence.

The Chicago Bears cornerback is reportedly not on the roster for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, a week-long demotion he received as punishment for his completely stupid substitution during the team's Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels made a huge Hail Mary throw in the final seconds of last week's contentious contest between the Commanders and Bears. While Daniels kept the game alive for 13 seconds before making that massive throw, Stevenson was on the other side of the court, taunting the crowd and not paying attention to what was going on. This proved incredibly costly as the Hail Mary Pass was successfully captured and the Commanders won 18-15.

Stevenson, who started every Bears game he ever played, apologized the next day.

But the damage was done. Now, Stevenson won't be in the starting lineup against the Cardinals, although NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he will be active and is expected to fill in for CB Terell Smith
