Bears OT Jason Spriggs tests positive for coronavirus, G Germain Ifedi close contact: Update Lachavious Simmons placed on covid protocol

[JGONBORICUA14]

Per Ian Rapoport...


Worst case news...what does the offensive line look like now with everyone missing the game?

Bears put OT Jason Spriggs, RG Germain Ifedi on reserve/COVID-19 list; RT Bobby Massie to IR

Spriggs is almost certainly out Sunday, though Ifedi could be cleared if he progresses through the return-to-play protocol.

This bodes well for the Bears

Arlington Hambright SZN!

Probably going with: Leno, Whitehair, Mustipher, Ifedi (will play if not positive), Coward.

If Whitehair isn't healthy enough and Ifedi comes up positive....... Leno, Bars, Mustipher, Hambright, Coward with God knows who as backups

Now would be a good time to point out that in the midst of a global pandemic, Pace decided to essentially stand pat on a fucking terrible OL. Not to mention, the OL are in close contact with others on just about every play.

Massie to IR. Spriggs and Ifedi to the COVID list. Lachavious Simmons promoted to the 53. Some dude named Aaron Neary signed to the practice squad! Let's go!

 

[Chicago4Life]

that means coward to RT and bars at LG

 

[number51]

gay

 

[Enasic]

Lol

 

[Sicario]

Leno, Whitehair (if still hurt Bars), Mustipher, Ifedi (if COVID listed Bars or Coward), Simmons

This is going to be fun

 

[and 69 others]

Thankfully the titans DLine plays like a bunch of ballerinas, so this is probably the best week for this to happen

Grounds for termination. His neglect of this unit is unprofessional and malpractice.

 

[JGONBORICUA14]

maybe we could see that scottish rubgy dude play?

 

[rawdawg]

If Whitehair can't play, I assume they'll bring up Dieter Eiselen as well. If that happens, the 8 linemen available on game day will be:

3 seventh rounders
4 UDFAs

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

What’s the likelihood this game gets pushed back?

 

[Anytime23]

God bless the dedicated fans who actually can name their starters this week.

 

[ChiKhan]

What's Kyle Long up to these days?

 

[mecha]

what about Lance Louis?

 

[BradyJay]

You can plug and play just about anyone with this line and it wont be that large of a setback. Hard to get much worse when you're at rock bottom. This was witnessed against the Saints...

 

[vabearsfan15]

So instead of going out and finding OL help...we sit idle knowing two of our starters this weekend are out for Covid?


I just don't understand. I know I'm a desperate fan! But how can we sit by and put our hopes of turning around one of the worst offenses in the NFL by relying on PS players?! Thats the master plan?!

Pagano puts Mack at DB, might as well RT too.
