Cody Whitehair Left the Game With an Injury and is Doubtful to Return

The Chicago Bears offensive line was questionable at best going into this game.

And injuries aren’t going to help matters.

Unfortunately, Cody Whitehair – the team’s longest-tenured offensive player – left the game with an injury and was seen limping off the field:

And an in-game return doesn’t sound promising.

This leaves the Bears with an interior trio of Lucas Patrick (left guard), Sam Mustipher (center), and Teven Jenkins (right guard). It’ll be trial by fire for this trio, which hasn’t played together this season. We’ll keep tabs on updates and will share as soon as we see ’em.
