The Chicago Bears (3-5) have released their inactives ahead of their Week 9 game against the Miami Dolphins (5-3), where Chicago is looking to get back in the win column.
Rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. is among those who aren’t dressed for Sunday’s game, which comes as a surprise as he’s a healthy scratch. Jones hasn’t been involved much on offense this season, and he’s had his share of struggles in the return game.
Offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood is also a healthy scratch. Chicago is returning two starting offensive linemen in Cody Whitehair (back from IR) and Larry Borom (cleared concussion protocol).
Receiver Chase Claypool will make his Bears debut today against Miami, where head coach Matt Eberflus indicated he could see anywhere from 10 to 35 snaps.
Here’s a look at the Bears’ inactives against the Dolphins:
- WR Velus Jones Jr.
- OL Ja’Tyre Carter
- TE Jake Tonges
- DB Lamar Jackson
- OL Alex Leatherwood
Also, a look at the Dolphins’ inactives:
- RB Myles Gaskin
- WR Erik Ezukanma
- QB Skylar Thompson
- OL Austin Jackson
- WR River Cracraft
The Bears and Dolphins kick things off at 12 p.m. CT on CBS.
