The Chicago Bears (4-5) are preparing for a Week 11 primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Rams (5-4), and they’re starting the week off more banged up than usual.

After suffering a calf injury against the Detroit Lions last Sunday, tight end Trey Burton did not practice Wednesday. The Bears are thin at the tight end position, with Burton’s injury and Adam Shaheen’s benching.

Ben Braunecker scored a touchdown against the Lions last week, and he figures to get more looks heading into Sunday’s game against the Rams.

But the surprise name that popped up on Wednesday’s injury report is rookie running back David Montgomery, who was limited with an ankle injury.

After suffering a gruesome elbow injury in the first quarter against Detroit, Danny Trevathan did not practice Wednesday. Matt Nagy hasn’t given an official update on Trevathan, but Nagy didn’t seem optimistic and said it’s possible he’ll join defensive tackle Akiem Hicks on injured reserve.

Linebacker Isaiah Irving continues to nurse a quad injury that has held him out for the past two games. Practice squad linebacker James Vaughters has seen action against the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions as a result.

If Irving can’t go again Sunday, expect Vaughters to be elevated to the active roster.
