Chicago Bears Left Tackle Braxton Jones Out for Vikings Game Due to Concussion
Jones self-reported concussion symptoms Sunday, leaving the Bears to adjust their offensive line for Monday Night Football.
- Braxton Jones, the Chicago Bears' starting left tackle, will miss Monday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings after self-reporting concussion symptoms on Sunday.
- Jones did not travel with the team to Minneapolis and had not been listed on the injury report earlier in the week, raising questions about when the injury occurred.
- He is the third Bears player ruled out for the game with a concussion, joining running back Roschon Johnson and offensive lineman Ryan Bates.
- The Bears are considering multiple options to replace Jones, including moving guard Matt Pryor to left tackle or starting rookie Kiran Amegadjie, who has dealt with injuries this season.
- This marks another setback for the 4-9 Bears, who have struggled with injuries and will face the NFL's most aggressive blitzing defense without their starting left tackle.
