The Chicago Bears will face the New England Patriots without both starting offensive tackles, Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright, due to knee injuries. Jones missed the previous game against Arizona, while Wright was injured during that game. The Bears will rely on Larry Borom to fill one of the tackle positions, and they may have guard/center Ryan Bates available after being activated from injured reserve. Additionally, defensive end Montez Sweat and cornerback Kyler Gordon are set to return from injury.

• The Bears are significantly impacted by injuries on their offensive line.
• Ryan Bates' return could provide some stability, but his snap count remains uncertain.
