🚨Chicago Bears Get TONS OF INJURY NEWS Before Steelers Game🚨
All right, we got some breaking news on the injury front as we get ready for Bears versus Steelers on Friday. My name is Harrison Gramp. Hope everybody’s having a good start to their weekend. Bringing you guys a video from my house, whether we’re in the studio, uh whether we’re at my house, whether it’s an off day or an on day. We’re bringing you the latest and greatest Chicago Bears news, rumors, everything else surrounding this football team. If you want to help us get to 141,000 subscribers, that would be awesome. We would greatly, greatly appreciate it. Okay, let’s start with the Bears uh not playing versus Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, you are down your top three linebackers. Uh we were worried that would be the case and uh that is the case as TJ Edwards, Tummaine Edmonds, and Noah Su have all been ruled out. Edwards still dealing with that hand and hamstring issue. Edmonds dealing with a groin issue that popped up late in the last game and then Noah Su dealing with an elbow injury. I don’t really know exactly when that one happened, but uh they are all out. Brad Biggs wrote about this last night and again this morning saying look at some kind of combination of Demarco Jackson and Ruben Hippoly along with a lot of nickel and dime packages. So if you’re Dennis Allen, you know, you’re going to have to feel this out early. Can Demarco Jackson and Ruben Hippolite hold up? Uh if they cannot, if they’re really struggling, do you just go heavy with defensive backs and, you know, take your chances that way? I I would imagine the Steelers are going to try to play ground and pound on you uh in this game. I I think that would be a smart strategy already uh given their quarterback situation. We’ll get to Aaron Rogers in a minute, whether it’s him or Mason Rudolph. Uh but with the Bears playing relatively inexperienced linebackers, especially Ruben Hippolite, that’s uh that’s going to be a tough ask. The Bears defensive line really needs to play well. Uh hopefully they are able to do that. Also, to add a complication to the mix, both Roshan Johnson and Travis Homer are out. Now, these aren’t either of your two top two running backs, but that leaves you with only two runners, DeAndre Swift and Kyle Manungai. and both those guys contribute on special teams. So, it’s going to be really interesting to see what the Bears do in terms of practice squad elevations cuz you can elevate two players for game day. At least one has to be a linebacker. I would guess Carl Jones Jr. We’ll see if Jaylen Reeves Maben uh is ready to go. That that feels a bit quick. Um you’ve got Britain Brown at running back who’s only had one game day elevation, so he could be an option as well if you go one each. Um, so we’ll see what they do there. If they don’t do a running back, I would imagine DJ Moore takes some snaps at the running back position, uh, on occasion. So, uh, that’s going to be something, uh, to watch for as well. Uh, okay. Questionable versus Pittsburgh. Jaylen Johnson and Kyler Gordon have both been listed as questionable. Both were full participants today. Jaylen Johnson has been a full participant two days in a row. Now, Ben Johnson was asked about Jaylen specifically, and he said, “I don’t know. We will see talking about if they are going to activate him for this game. I think he’s more likely than Kyler because this is the first uh full practice for Kyler and these Friday practices are not uh you know full force practices. They’re kind of walkthroughs with some you know things going on. So that feels like a stretch for him to play as he’s dealt with multiple soft tissue injuries already this year. But could Jaylen? I mean, he’s practiced since last Friday. In the last two days, he’s been full. Uh, we’ll see. Part of the equation here, I would think, has to be that the Bears have a quick turnaround. They play on Black Friday against the Eagles. So, does that weigh in? If they are activated or if one of them is activated, are they on a pitch count? So, those are all things the Bears have to consider and consult with their medical staff and um, you know, so on and so forth. So, uh, I it feels like Jaylen’s got a shot. I’m still not that convinced Kyler has a real shot of playing. I’ll give him 25%. Jaylen, I’ll call 5050. I I I think there is a chance Jaylen plays. I’ll say this as well, if Jaylen doesn’t play in this game, I’m very confident he’ll play Black Friday. And it trend it’s trending toward Kyler Gordon playing against the Eagles as well. So, that is uh the good news. Okay, I want to talk about a couple other guys who are questionable. Uh and then we’ll get to Aaron Rogers plus another potential Steelers injury to follow. But first, we do got to tell you guys about our awesome sponsor that is Prize Pix. Daily fantasy made easy at prizepix.com/lns. Uh the hard-hitting football action is even better with prize picks.

I took more on DeAndre Swift’s rushing yards and I took more on DK Metaf’s receiving yards as well. Might take more in a separate lineup on a uh you Jaylen Warren assuming he’s good to go because Steelers are going to run the football a lot in this game I would imagine. But um you know again up to six players got to pick at least uh two players on two or more different teams. Can’t just pick two Bears players. Uh you have to pick someone from a different team. But you could go a Bears player, a Black Ops Blackhawks player, and a Bulls player. If you want to just go all Chicago sports, you can do that. Take more or less.

Jaquan Brisker technically is questionable, but he’s been a full participant the past two days. I I’m not concerned there. Maybe it’s one of those where he’s 95%, so technically they can’t list him as full, but uh I fully expect him to be out there unless there’s some setback in Sunday’s workout before the game. Uh so keep an eye on that, but he should be good to go. Uh one final note before we get to Theo Bennett on Jaylen Johnson and Kyler Gordon. If they do activate one or both of those guys, they will have to make corresponding roster moves. So, they will have to place uh one to two players on short-term IR. They would have to cut one to two players. Who could that be? Could it be a guy like J Walker? Could it be Jaylen Jones? Could it be a Chris Williams? Uh, you know, normally you’d say, would it be one of these deeper linebackers? But it’s not going to be a linebacker with how beat up you are uh at that position. So, uh just make note of that. they’re going to have to cut uh somebody or place somebody on IR if they elevate or if they activate one of these guys slash uh both of these guys. Okay, real quick on Theo Benedict. We mentioned this yesterday and I wanted to mention it again here. He was a full participant Wednesday, no injury designation and yesterday was listed as limited with a quad injury. Usually that means you got hurt during practice and didn’t finish. So, I think it’s pretty clear he started yesterday’s practice full, got banged up, so he was listed as limited. Now, he was listed as limited today, but I’ve been told this is one to watch. This could be a game time decision. And if he can’t go, remember Braxton Jones, Kronagi, they are on IR. So, presumably it would be the rookie Aussie Trapillo who’s kind of been serving in this sixth offensive lineman role. He’s been playing like eight to 10 snaps a game. They bring him in in jumbo packages, so on and so forth. But remember, he kind of got kicked out of the left tackle competition in training camp because he was falling behind and Theo Benedict entered it and ended up being the guy. And it’s not like Theo’s been great. So, if Aussie Trapillo makes his first career start at left tackle against this Steelers defensive front, they’re going to have to give him a lot of help, I would imagine. Chip with Cole KT, Durham Smi, Coulson Lovelin, use the backs. I don’t think you’re going to want to leave him on an island very often at all, assuming it’s Alex Heismith. he’s going up against. Now, the good news is TJ Watt doesn’t really line up on that side. Darnell Wright will handle him and he’s a full particip full participant. He’s good to go. As is Drew Dolman, Kevin B, Grady Jarrett, DeAndre Swift, uh, and Joe Tuni. Some of those guys just had rest days. That’s technically why they’re on the injury report. But if Theo can’t go, I mean, you’re going to have to help Theo, too, in Pasro. But you would think you would especially have to handle help Aussie against this defensive front. uh especially since he just has not played that much. So, uh that left tackle spot is something to watch. Okay, for the Steelers, Aaron Rogers officially questionable per Mike Tomlin. He was limited uh in today’s practice. Again, he’s got that left wrist fracture. And Roger said earlier in the week, it’s it’s a safety issue. It’s not a a pain tolerance issue. is can they stabilize the wrist enough with some kind of soft cast uh to risk for to avoid further injury and to um make sure he’s functional enough taking under center snaps handing the football off with his left hand those type of things. Mike Tomlin said quote we’ll see where the weekend leaves us. Now, I imagine he’s going to play, and I’ve said the last couple of days, even if they’re on the fence, I would guess he at least starts the game. And if they get through a few drives, a quarter, whatever, and he’s just not functional enough, well, then you just put Mason Rudolph in the game, right? Like, you could totally do that. So, uh I think he will suit up. I think he will be out there. Uh this is too big of a game. One more thing to watch for for the Steelers, and I’ve not seen their full injury report drop just yet. Let me make sure it has not. I don’t see it yet. Uh, so keep an eye on that on social media. Follow me at HGM NFL with big updates. I’ll get those out there. Um, a Steelers reporter saw Cam Hayward in a boot after practice today. So, did he get banged up? Did something happen yesterday? We’ll see when the injury report comes out, but that would be a big loss if the veteran defensive tackle, for some reason, could not play in this football game. So, that is also something to keep an eye on as we get closer and closer to kickoff on Sunday. All right, that’s going to do it for this edition of Chicago Bears.

PREDICT THE SCORE: Bears vs. Steelers!
It sounds like Ben is treating this non conference matchup vs the Steelers as a bye week to get healthy for the upcoming conference and division games.
sign jessie bates and put cj at wr
We need all our starters in the back field on defense at the least
Bears need help
again how tf is roshon always hurt, he play like 5 snaps a game ,it makes no sense, he should be replaced i cant imagine him staying healthy if they actually needed him to play
Remember nuclear option Ozzie not going good put Ozzie at guard and put thuney at tackle
Sign Eric hendricks
#48 boutta step UP L… calling it now watch Demarco shine
Brown is better than Johnson and Homer
Please dont start JJ. Give him 1 more week. I dont wanna see him injured for playing too early again.
What’s with all the guys with pulled muscles? Defensive guys are supposed to play hurt these guys are a bunch of bums thank god for Caleb and the offensive guys never thought that I would say that about the bears
Bears luck ends here. Long time bettor here and this is a true let down spot for the Bears. Injuries to your LB room is huge as well. Pittsburgh loves to throw to the TE’s, which doesn’t go well with a bunch of nobody’s at your LB positions. Once again, Poles not remembering to have good backups for every position. Hammer the Steelers and the under.
Glad this is an AFC game week
HERE WE GO STEELERS
How does rb #23 stay hurt and he only plays ST snaps at about 6/7 a game…. smfh he will no longer be on team next yr
It’s CASSIUS MARSH all over again
I feel like the best thing that could happen is that one of the two LB play decent and Kyler and CJGJ both are going to have to be on the field need their physicality out there
Like we say in the military, next man up. This is when we see if Poles drafted well in the mid to late rounds of the draft. It's critical to have some quality backups to get through a 17 games schedule.
Highsmith doubtful
Bad look for Bears training staff, or maybe these guys are just soft
If JJ is good to go, who's roster spot does he take
If Rudolph is the starter there’s no reason our second string delving into 3rds shouldn’t be able to handle him.
Jaylon johnson was on the Bears recent short about my cause my cleats I feel like he’s playing
