The Chicago Bears’ injury struggles at offensive tackle have continued into the regular season.
Left tackle Jason Peters suffered a quad injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Rams, and Peters is officially questionable to return.
Peters, who was fishing just a month ago, was faring well at left tackle, where he had to contend with Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald at times.
With Peters out, fifth-round rookie Larry Borom gets the call at left tackle.

The Bears offensive line has done a solid job against a dominant Rams defensive front, where they’ve allowed just one sack on Dalton and cleared the way for running back David Montgomery to rush for 79 yards on 10 carries in the first half.
The Bears trail the Rams 20-7 in the third quarter.
