🚨Chicago Bears Get BAD BREAKING NEWS Before Tomorrow’s Game vs. Steelers

[Music] What’s going on everybody? Welcome into Chicago Bears now. Happy Saturday. Well, not such a happy Saturday for the Bears on the injury front. We’re going to get into all of that. A lot of key pieces not playing in this game tomorrow. And for one player in specifically, a key piece out for at least a month. So, not great news on that front. My name is Harrison Graham. Hopefully, otherwise you are having a fantastic weekend. Please hit the subscribe button, turn on notifications, that way you never miss an episode here on Chicago Bears Now. We got you guys covered uh every single day, whether I’m on, whether I’m off, in the studio, in my home office, we got you covered. All things Bears, good news or bad news. And honestly, it’s it’s not the best news today. Um I’m not surprised by this. Jaylen Johnson and Kyler Gordon both were not activated for this game. I do think the fact that the Bears have a quick turnaround and are playing on Friday probably played a role for at least Jaylen Johnson who did have back-to-back full practices. Um had they, you know, had a normal rest week next week to play next Sunday, maybe they would have activated one or both of these guys. But I think with the quick turnaround, they’re they’re playing this cautious. uh going the safety route, which probably makes sense. Um but this game is also more winnable than the Eagles game. So, it is what it is. I I think you just have to kind of accept this uh that it was a long shot for these guys to play in this one with the short week coming up. Definitely a bummer. Um certainly having these guys out there would help, but at the same time, if they’re able to play Black Friday and stay healthy the rest of the season, that’s what the most important thing is. You need Kyler Gordon and Jaylen Johnson to be healthy for the rest of this year. If this team is going to be a team that does damage in the postseason, you need them in December and into January. So, uh, I think this is probably the right call, even if it’s a little frustrating for us as Bears fans. But, uh, at the end of the day, A, I’m not surprised. B, I’m not even necessarily disappointed. Uh, even if just from a fandom standpoint, it is a bit of a bummer. Uh the good news is is it sounds like both are hopeful to play on Black Friday. So if there’s no setbacks uh early next week uh gearing up for that Friday contest against Philadelphia, then I would guess you see those guys out there. Who’s not going to be out there tomorrow or on Black Friday or in the first game against the Packers or the Browns game is Tmaine Edmonds? Tummaine Edmonds is heading to injured reserve which means he is going to miss at least four games. Just brutal, man. just brutal. Tweaked his groin late in that last game with like two minutes left. Somehow finished that game against Minnesota and now he’s out this team. And it’s not just the Bears. You’re seeing it across the league. But man, the soft tissue injuries with this team, especially this year, but really the last few years just been brutal, man. Just been brutal. You wonder if there’s going to be an internal review this off season with the medical staff because they just can’t keep these guys healthy. And Tmaine Edmonds is a guy who really hasn’t had injuries. So now that he’s going to miss a month, I mean, critical stretch here, too. The good news is, and you know, there’s not much, but there is hope you’re going to get TJ Edwards back pretty soon, whether it’s Black Friday or in that week 14 against game against Green Bay, but Edmonds is out at least a month. Both TJ Edwards and Noah Sul are out for this game uh against Pittsburgh. It’s already going to be a tough matchup this week because of that because no one runs more 12 personnel than the Steelers. They also run a lot of jumbo packages with an extra offensive lineman, a third tight end. They’re using um Darnell Washington as an extra blocker and a guy that leaks out of the back field. I mean, this is going to be a tough game. Th this is going to be a tough game. You are out two starting defensive backs, Jaylen Johnson, and Kyler Gordon. Your top three linebackers, Tummaine Edmonds, TJ Edwards, and Noah Su. Um, you know, I know he wasn’t playing that well, but Dio Dingbo is another starter on your team that tore his Achilles. You know, you’re just you’re just ravaged defensively. You’re you’re just absolutely been brutalized uh with injuries. And that’s why I’ve defended Dennis Allen even though, you know, outside of the takeaways, the the the defensive numbers haven’t looked great because they’re just getting killed with these injuries. So, um it’s definitely th this one is brutal news. You know, Jaylen and Kyler one more week. All right. like I I I can deal with that. But Edmonds to miss a critical four game stretch here. I mean, you hope you just kind of survive here. Can you go two and two over the next month and, you know, you get him back for the last three or four games uh hopefully heading into the postseason? That’s uh that’s really all you can hope for. You guys also see the note there as well. Um Roshan Johnson out at least four games. He has also been placed on IR. I don’t even know when he injured his thumb. It’s like this guy just can’t stay healthy. And the thing with him, it’s not really soft tissue stuff. It’s like he’s had concussion problems now. I guess he broke his thumb or something. I just pretty brutal. You wonder if we’ve seen kind of the end of Roshan in Chicago. Uh we’ll talk about Britain Brown. There is some roster uh signings and practice squad elevations for this scam that we’re going to get into here in just a moment. But first, do have to tell you guys about our awesome sponsor that is Prize Pix. Daily fantasy made easy at prizepix.com/lns. The hard-hitting football action is even better with prize pickics.

Prize picks. It is good to be right. Okay, so four roster uh additions to uh to the 53 mana roster, which means they could be on the active roster beyond this week. Britain Brown at running back. He’s basically a Roshan Johnson replacement. Uh I think he’s actually an upgrade over Roshan offensively. Now, we’ll see how much he contributes on special teams. Uh, and then Carl Jones Jr. who’s kind of bounced off and on uh the 53 and the active roster. Uh, a linebacker who the Bears are comfortable with. Uh, he’ll be in the mix behind uh Demarco Jackson and Ruben Hippolite at that linebacker spot. You’ll obviously see CJ Gardner Johnson mix it up down in the box this week. Maybe Jaquan Brisker as well. They could use Jonathan Owens and some dime packages, but uh some reinforcements there at running back and linebacker cuz don’t forget Travis Homer also out for this game. Not an IR, but he is out for this game. Uh two practice squad game day elevations. Offensive lineman Jordan McFaden, remember him? He had a really good training camp and pushed for a roster spot and uh they actually tried to see if uh they could trade him, but uh they ended up cutting him and brought him back on the practice squad. That is a sign of Theo Benedict potentially being out. Kevin Fishbane, I’ve been told by a source as well that uh Theo is a guy to watch tomorrow. They’ll probably work him out before the game, but if he can’t go, you’re thin at tackle. Aussie Chillo uh and Darnell Wright in that situation would be your only healthy tackles because Braxton Jones uh is obviously on injured reserve uh and so is Karan Amagi. Jordan McFaden, who’s more of a guard, but could play tackle on a pench. What would happen hypothetically, let’s just say um let’s say Aussie Trapillo got injured during the game tomorrow, assuming he gets the start if Theo can’t go. What would happen is Joe Toney, who’s done this before with the Chiefs, would kick out to left tackle and then Ryan Bates would kick in uh at guard, then Jordan McFaden would be next man up. That that is probably what would happen. You’ve got Luke Newman in there as well who could mix it in. McFadden could be your backup right tackle in the this game also if Darnell Wright were to get banged up. So just gives you some flexibility to have McFaden up if Benedict is not active. I’m not really sure about the Nola Kenic elevation. He’s a tight end. Remember Steven Carlson is out of game day elevation. So maybe Ben Johnson is looking to run some more jumbo packages. Maybe they’re going to have a fourth tight end active. Uh I’m not sure. So that one uh caught my attention. maybe because they’re thin at tackle, they want to have an extra tight end ready to go. Uh, one thing that’s worth mentioning is Azie Trapillo was kind of being used as that extra offensive lineman. So, if he starts, maybe they’re going to use these tight ends even more as extra blockers. So, uh, Kenic there could be a guy that could help serve that purpose. All right, we’ll get to the Steelers here, then we’ll sign off. Aaron Rogers, will he play? He’s still considered questionable as of today. Probably a game time decision. My gut tells me he’s going to play at least start the game, right? They’ve got three quarterbacks with Mason Rudolph and Will Howard there as well. So, even if you know you start Rogers, if you’re Pittsburgh and it’s not going well or he can’t grip the football, he’s having ball handling issues, whatever the case may be, or if he were to get hurt, well then you still have Mason Rudolph, you still have Will Howard. So, you would just think uh that uh he would be out there and the stakes are high for the Steelers in the playoff picture. obviously his history with the Bears as well. Uh I would bet a decent amount of money that he’s at least going to try and give it a go might be a game time decision, but unless it’s just a disaster in warm-ups, you know, handling the football, uh I think uh he’s going to end up playing in this one. Obviously, we’ll continue to monitor that. Uh and then some good Steelers news, whereas there was a lot of not so good Bears news on the injury front. Darius Slay officially cleared through the concussion protocol. He will be active and playing in this game. Now, he hasn’t had a great year, so um you know, I think he’s a guy you can target if you’re the Bears. And then Cam Hayward, who was seen in a boot on Friday, uh he’s good to go. No injury designation. He will play. That was more of a precautionary issue. So, uh two veteran starters for Pittsburgh are good to go to play in this one. So, look, as we kind of wrap things up here, the the Bears are much more beat up. I I know Rogers injury situation, but honestly, a nicked up Rogers, Mason Rudolph, probably not a massive difference at this point. The Bears are just decimated defensively uh in their back seven, top three linebackers out. They’re, you know, Jaylen and Kyler aren’t coming back. So, um it’s going to take a herculean effort. And realistically, my initial score prediction was 24-21 Bears. You’re probably going to need more than 24 points to win this game because even though Pittsburgh’s offense has some limitations, you would think they’re going to be able to run the football with some success. Uh given who you’re going to have to trot out there at linebacker and just at times play lighter with more DBs in the secondary, uh which gives the opponent uh a better chance to run the football. So, going to be a tall order. We’ll see if Dennis Allen’s group is up to the task and we’ll see if Caleb Williams and the offense can make some plays. I mean, you’re going to have to score. Um, in that Cincinnati game going into it, we knew the Bears were going to have to score a lot of points and they scored 47. Not saying you’re going to need to do that, but you might need 30 points in this game uh to win it. The good news is you’re at home. So, uh, we’ll see if the Bears can get it done.
