The Chicago Bears released their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff on the road in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. They would be shorthanded defensively and on the offensive line.
They deactivated three defensive starters, including defensive lineman Montez Sweat, who is second on the team with 3.5 sacks. Sweat was questionable for the game with a shin injury.
Starting safety Jaquan Brisker was already ruled out with a concussion, but cornerback Kyler Gordon, questionable with a hamstring injury, was also listed as an inactive player.
This is in addition having their top two left tackles out for the game.
Here are their Week 9 inactives:
- CB Kyler Gordon
- RB Khalil Herbert
- OL Kiran Amegadjie
- DE Montez Sweat
- S Jaquan Brisker
- OL Braxton Jones
- DL Byron Cowart
With Jones and Amegadjie out, Larry Borom, activated this week from injured reserve, will start at left tackle.
Former Seahawks defensive lineman Darrell Taylor will likely get the nod in place of Sweat.
Josh Blackwell is listed behind Gordon at cornerback.
Regular starter Tyrique Stevenson will not start. He was benched for disciplinary purposes and will rotate in with Terrell Smith.
