The Bears downgraded center Lucas Patrick to questionable with a back injury Sunday, sparking major uncertainty on the offensive line heading into a game against the Chargers. Patrick practiced in full all week and was not on the injury report, but appears to have had a back injury flare up.
If Patrick can’t play, the Bears likely would start veteran Dan Feeney or second-year lineman Doug Kramer in his place. They traded a sixth-round pick to the Dolphins for Feeney shortly before the season, but he has played just two snaps on offense. Kramer was a sixth-round pick in 2022, but missed his entire rookie season with an injury and made his NFL debut last week with two snaps on offense against the Raiders.
