Bears Expect Rookie TE Colston Loveland to Sit vs. Raiders, Elevate Stephen Carlson

Chicago enters Week 4 short-handed, with coaches calling Loveland’s hip issue not severe.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Colston Loveland is not expected to play in Las Vegas after leaving Week 3 with a hip injury.
  • Chicago elevated tight end Stephen Carlson from the practice squad to provide depth behind Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe.
  • Loveland missed Wednesday and Thursday practices and was limited Friday; he has three receptions for 43 yards through three games.
  • Linebacker T. J. Edwards, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and right tackle Darnell Wright were ruled out, with Theo Benedet expected to make his first NFL start at right tackle.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson said the injury does not appear “super serious,” and nickel corner Kyler Gordon is questionable for a potential season debut.
