Eddie Jackson’s injury scare, Allen Robinson and Cody Whitehair banged up

The Bears were abysmal from start to finish of Monday night’s game against the Rams, which was almost made worse by some injury scares.

The Chicago Bears were abysmal from start to finish of Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, a 24-10 beating that doesn’t even do the loss justice.

But things almost escalated from abysmal to nightmarish when it appeared as if Bears safety Eddie Jackson had suffered a non-contact injury in the third quarter. Jackson leaped in the air and grabbed at his left knee as he landed on the ground. On a night where anything and everything seemed to go wrong, this felt like the final blow.

Luckily, that wasn’t the case.

Jackson, who knows the pain and frustration of a torn ACL back at Alabama, said that as the team doctors performed a test to see if he’d torn the ligament, he knew that wasn’t the case.

“I knew it wasn’t nothing too bad,” Jackson told reporters after the game. “I’ve been through the ACL. I’m fine. I’m feeling good. It was just a little scare. But I knew it wasn’t nothing too serious and it started to calm down, I started to feel much better.”

And it’s a good thing, too, or the Bears likely would’ve been held without a touchdown in this game.

Jackson recovered a fumble forced by outside linebacker Robert Quinn and ran it in for a touchdown, his first defensive score of the season after two negated pick-sixes earlier this year.

Elsewhere, there are two injuries that loom large for the Bears offense moving forward. Because, yes, apparently things can get worse on offense for Chicago.

Receiver Allen Robinson left Monday night’s game in the fourth quarter after hitting his head on the turf on a reception in the fourth quarter. He was evaluated for a concussion and did not return.

Nagy didn’t have any update on Robinson injury, which will likely come on Tuesday.

As if the Bears offensive line could get any bleaker, center Cody Whitehair suffered a quad injury that forced him to leave the game. His return was questionable, although he did not return. Undrafted free agent Sam Mustipher  replaced him.

“I think Cody is OK,” Nagy said.
