The injury report for the Chicago Bears vs. Arizona Cardinals game on Christmas Eve is out, and the Bears will be without their finest offensive tackle.
Teven Jenkins has already been ruled out due to concussion protocol, thus Cody Whitehair will likely start at left guard. Jenkins’ absence may also mean that second-year pro Ja’Tyre Carter will play for the first time in weeks.
Linebacker Noah Sewell (knee) and wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) have also been ruled out, with tight end Cole Kmet (quad), running back/special teamer Travis Homer (hamstring), and running back D’Onta Foreman (personal) listed as questionable.
Head coach Matt Eberflus said Kmet, who had been limited in practice the prior two days, was on track to play on Sunday.
The year is 1993, and the date is November 25th. We were at Texas Stadium for a Thanksgiving Day game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Dallas has a one-point advantage, but Miami is lining up for a field goal in the final seconds. A big kick might give the Dolphins a chance to take a big win over the defending Super Bowl champions. There’s a lot to unpack before we see what happens next. To accomplish so, we must go back in time.
Homer did not practice on Wednesday, but he has been limited the prior two days.
Foreman was absent on Thursday due to a personal problem, but he returned to Halas Hall today and took part in a restricted capacity.
Arizona has reported the absence of three players: starters Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (WR) and Garrett Williams (CB), as well as reserve defensive back Bobby Price.
Linebacker Victor Dimukeje (foot), receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder), safety Andre Chachere (shoulder), and corner Antonio Hamilton (calf) are all listed as questionable, and all were limited at Friday’s practice.
