The Chicago Bears offensive line has been under its fair share of criticism this season, and rightfully so. The Bears run game has been non-existent and pass protection has been questionable.
But the Bears offensive line has been ravaged by injuries with left guard James Daniels, who suffered a torn pectoral muscle and is out for the season. Center Cody Whitehair suffered a quad injury in last week’s game against the Rams, and he was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
Now, the Bears are down another starting offensive lineman as right tackle Bobby Massie suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s game. Jason Spriggs replaced him, and Massie is questionable to return.

The Bears are now missing three of their starting offensive linemen, which isn’t all-that-comforting considering Chicago struggled even with its starters.
Rashaad Coward got his third start at left guard in replacement of Daniels, and he’s been shaky throughout all three contests. Sam Mustipher started in relief of Whitehair on Sunday.
The Bears and Saints are tied 3-3 in the first quarter.
