The Chicago Bears have been ravaged by injuries in the latter half of the season, which has included the losses of safety Eddie Jackson and receiver Darnell Mooney for the season.
In last Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears lost linebacker Jack Sanborn for the season with an ankle injury, and the team’s best offensive linemen (Teven Jenkins and Cody Whitehair) were also sidelined. Jenkins suffered a scary neck injury but did return to Halas Hall this week. Whitehair suffered a knee injury that likely ends his season (and maybe his Bears career, if the team decides to move on from him.)
At one point, even quarterback Justin Fields exited the game, where it was later revealed to be cramping in his hamstring.
But with Chicago eliminated from postseason contention and nothing at stake (aside from a top-three draft pick), should the Bears consider the injury risks in these final three games?
As the Bears gear up for a Christmas Eve contest against the Bills, host Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary) and myself (@AlyssaBarbieri) discussed how the Bears should handle their rash of injuries and preview Saturday’s matchup against Buffalo on the latest episode of our Bears Wire Podcast.
