The Chicago Bears are gearing up to face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, and they’ll be shorthanded along the offensive line.
Left tackle Braxton Jones landed on injured reserve earlier this week with a neck injury, which will require him to miss at least the next four games. He joins left guard Teven Jenkins on IR.

Here’s what Chicago’s offensive line is expected to look like heading into Sunday’s game against Kansas City:
LT Larry Borom
LG Cody Whitehair
C Lucas Patrick
RG Ja’Tyre Carter

Based on pregame OL warmups, Looks like Larry Borom will start at LT with Ja’Tyre Carter at RG today for the #Bears

The Bears are 12.5-point road underdogs heading into this game against the Chiefs, where Justin Fields and the offense has plenty to prove after a couple of rough outings.
