Chicago Bears Starting Lineman Out 6 Weeks: NFL News

The Chicago Bears have had a relatively quiet training camp for major injuries. An offensive lineman could miss six weeks.

Bummed.

Good heavens the Bears have bad luck on the offensive line.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I'd be tempted to let Carter stay at RG and let Davis play LG until Tevin is healthy, but I don't think Davis plays anything but RG...?

Might be hard for Davis to play anything with his “personal problems.”

Yeah. Trust me that's on the back of my mind as well.

RIP. Put your track shoes on, Fields.

Good thing Davis was able to establish some of that chemistry and continuity with his brand new team during all those OTA practices that he took part in.

Sucks but injuries happen to every team. That’s why depth is so important. Depth wins championships. Bears don’t have much depth right now.

 

[Rise]

Jenkins just can’t catch a break. I’m beginning to think he is one of those bears who won’t stay for their 2nd contract but will sort out his health in his prime for his second team.

Carter is the guy I’d like to see with the opportunity, be interesting to see what they do.

Would like to hear Flus elaborate, how do you go straight from this quote to out 6 weeks.

 

[RubberBanMan]

Lot of teams probably worried about o line depth right now but this pre season still has me wanting them to draft c/g over and over next year. Jenkins seems to just be injury prone- not to even mention his back.

Davis is kind of a mystery and so is center outside of whitehair (who should be replaced next year anyway). Davis will be 28 next September and jenkins will be a 26 yo having not played a full season.

Good luck..... Flus is pretty forthcoming except for injuries.

Damn. I want to see the potential for Teven to be a long term DOMINANT OL. I see it....

But if the brotha can't stay on the field, then what's the point? The term "injury prone" is now stamped on him. At this point, I wonder if he should be even considered as a starter. I wonder if you can make him a backup each week, and then on game day see if he is healthy, THEN start him on. Like a pseudo starter(I don't even know what that means).

As good as I think he can be, we can't count on him. And it sucks bc I like him alot...

Kyle Long 2.0

 

[didshereallysaythat]

Hopefully, they meant that 6 weeks was the max he was out and it was likely a lot less than that. Even so, 6 weeks would mean he misses 3 games given that there is still 1 more preseason game and then 2 weeks off before the season starts.

Kyle Long 2.0

That's disrespectful to Kyle Long who started off his career going to 3 straight Pro Bowls and played in all but one game during those 3 years.

 

[dabears70]

This is brutal news. The kid can legit be a pro bowl OL IMO but just can't fucking stay healthy.

 

[BradyJay]

He wont be on the team next season.
