Bears Injury Update: Braxton Jones Questionable to Return vs. Commanders

What Happened

Chicago Bears starting left tackle Braxton Jones suffered a calf injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. He was helped off the field and did not return.

Impact on the Game

The Bears were forced to insert veteran backup Riley Reiff at left tackle in place of Jones. Reiff has struggled at times this season, and his presence could be a liability for the Bears' offense.

Injury Severity and Timeline

The severity of Jones' injury is not yet known. He is questionable to return to the game, but it is possible that he could miss more time. The Bears will likely provide an update on his status after the game.

What it Means for the Bears

If Jones is unable to return, it would be a major blow to the Bears' offense. Jones has been one of the team's most consistent players this season, and his absence would be felt. The Bears would need Reiff to step up and play well in Jones' absence.

Implications for Fantasy Football

If you own Jones in fantasy football, you should consider benching him this week. Reiff is not a reliable replacement, and Jones' injury could keep him out of action for multiple weeks.
