Injury update and status report for the Chicago Bears for Week 16

The Lions are certainly dealing with their own injury issues but their Week 16 opponent, the Chicago Bears, have a few questions of their own heading into Sunday, particularly along the offensive line.

Chicago only has one player ruled out for Sunday, offensive lineman Ryan Bates. Bates has been out since Week 11 with a concussion. He isn’t the only Bears offensive lineman that had been dealing with a concussion.

Braxton Jones also had a concussion, but he is trending towards returning this week. After missing practice Wednesday, Jones was a full participant on Thursday and Friday. He is listed as questionable for Sunday, but his practicing twice this week is a good sign of his availability.

OL Teven Jenkins is also questionable for Sunday with a calf injury. Jenkins did not practice Wednesday or Thursday but did log a limited practice Friday.

RB Travis Homer is listed as doubtful after being added to the injury list Friday with a hamstring injury. DL Gervon Dexter Sr. (knee) and DB Jaylon Johnson (illness) are listed as questionable.
