The Chicago Bears released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles, and the Bears will be without several players.
Tight ends Trey Burton and Adam Shaheen along with linebackers Danny Trevathan and Isaiah Irving have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
Running back David Montgomery, who lightly rolled his ankle in practice Wednesday, was limited Friday and is officially questionable for Sunday.

The Bears will be without two of their tight ends in Burton and Shaheen, which means that Ben Braunecker will be the featured tight end against Los Angeles.
Braunecker scored his first career touchdown last week against the Detroit Lions, and he already figured to see more playing time.
Offensive lineman turned tight end Bradley Sowell figures to get some time at tight end, as well. It was just last season against the Rams where Sowell scored Chicago’s lone touchdown in a 15-6 victory at Soldier Field.
Matt Nagy was so impressed that they decided to convert him to a tight end. Maybe this is the week that the Sowell legend continues.
If Montgomery can’t go, Ryan Nall figures to get reps along with Tarik Cohen and Cordarrelle Patterson.
