Bears Wrap Up Practice Week for Sunday Game vs. Lions, Final Injury Report to Come
Pass Protection Concerns Continue
The Chicago Bears’ pass protection woes have been a major concern in their recent losses, and this week has been no exception. Two starting offensive linemen, left tackle Braxton Jones and left guard Teven Jenkins, have been nursing injuries and their status is still uncertain for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Final Call on Braxton Jones and Teven Jenkins
The Bears will make a final determination on the availability of Jones (concussion) and Jenkins (calf) after their walk-through on Friday. If Jones is unable to play, the team may opt to start backup Larry Borom or rookie Kiran Amegadjie in his place. This could be a significant challenge, as the Bears have struggled to protect their quarterback in recent games.
Bears’ Struggles Continue
The Bears are currently on an eight-game losing streak, with their last win coming on November 13. If they fall again on Sunday, they will match their nine-game losing streak from 2022, which is second-worst in franchise history. The team is looking to avoid their first nine-game losing streak since 2022.
Lions’ Strong Start to the Season
The Detroit Lions, on the other hand, are enjoying a strong season, tied with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings for first place in the NFC with a 12-2 record. They defeated the Bears 23-20 on Thanksgiving and will be looking to make it two wins in a row against their divisional rivals.
Conclusion
The Bears will need to regroup and refocus for their game against the Lions, addressing their pass protection issues and trying to stop their losing streak. With the team’s playoff hopes dwindling, Sunday’s game is a must-win for the Bears.
