Bears Left Tackle Braxton Jones Leaves Week 8 Game vs. Commanders With Injury (UPDATE: He’s Out)

Braxton Jones Injury Update

Chicago Bears left tackle Braxton Jones left Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders with a calf injury. He did not return to the game, and the Bears later announced that he would not be returning.

Impact on the Bears

Jones’ injury is a significant blow to the Bears’ offensive line. He has been a key part of the team’s success this season, helping to pave the way for running back Khalil Herbert’s 100-yard rushing performance in Week 7. Without Jones, the Bears will be forced to rely on backup offensive tackle Larry Borom, who has struggled at times this season.

What’s Next

The Bears will need to make a decision on whether to place Jones on injured reserve. If they do, he will miss at least four games. The Bears’ next game is against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.
