Chicago Bears Offensive Line Gets Some Mercifully Good Injury News

-

The Chicago Bears offensive line has been besieged by injuries over the past couple of weeks, exposing Caleb Williams to even further punishment. He was sacked six times in Arizona, nearly matching the season-high seven he took in Houston. The Bears can’t let this continue if they don’t want to see their prized young QB ruined. Thankfully, it looks as if they have some help on the way. While right tackle Darnell Wright remains out of practice with a knee injury, two other prominent names were back at practice.

One was Ryan Bates. The trade acquisition had been out since the beginning of the season with a shoulder injury. He practiced in full on Thursday, putting him on track to be activated for the New England Patriots game. More importantly, left tackle Braxton Jones returned to practice on a limited basis, offering hope he can return as well.

The Chicago Bears offensive line has some questions to answer.

First and foremost is what they plan to do at right tackle. Presuming Wright is out, and it’s looking that way, they don’t have many options to replace him. The most likely is shifting Larry Borom over from the left side. He has some experience playing right tackle. Kiran Amegadjie is still out with a calf injury. The other options would be moving Matt Pryor out from right guard. He has tackle experience as well. Or they could try going with Jake Curhan again.

He replaced Wright last Sunday after he went down.

The next question is whether they look to get Bates in the game. If so, will it be at right guard or center? It is believed the plan was for him to play center before Nate Davis got hurt in training camp. Maybe they plug him in there to get more size and power in the middle. It will be interesting to see what the Chicago Bears offensive line looks like on Sunday.

Someone that doesn’t have to blather on and on about myself and try to bash others because of insecurities. By the way, the “British people suck” comment was directed solely at you. You could be from anywhere and still suck, little fella!

(his IQ and Trumpster). Sounds like you are an Anglophobe, how endearing. If you were Irish or ex-colonial, I could understand it. But you are just a nasty male hyena. If I am a loser, with 23-page vitae, which does not even include my heavy sports, travel, and social life, then what does that make you?

British people suck. What have they done the last 250 years, except leach off of American…EVERYTHING. Stick your chunk of lamb up your ass and wash it down with that crap wine. Stick to Manchester United loser.

The fact that 318 lbs. Kiran Amegadjie has been unable to return from a “calf injury” suffered during his 45 snaps in the Commander’s loss on Oct. 22nd, is deeply concerning

Kirangadjie’s NFL career snap count has reached: 54.

Every NFL player is on a “countdown clock” of sorts. But those really large humans, such as Amegadjie, who have suffered a devastating quadriceps injury/surgery must travel an insanely difficult and perilous path to recovery.

One that often ends — abruptly.

I smell a do-do David. Come out, come out, wherever you are, Silly. I will assist you to enter Montgomery Junior College. But you must maintain at least a 1.70 GPA. Just major in Home Depot and minor in Family Entertainment. That would be most helpful to you and all of us here as Bears fans. ROAR!
