The Chicago Bears lost a lineman on MNF
The Chicago Bears’ offense looked much better in the first quarter in Week 7. Much of that success was due to a new starting offensive line combo. Late in the first quarter, with the Bears leading the New England Patriots 3-0, center Lucas Patrick was injured. The Bears have now ruled him doubtful to return against the Patriots.
According to a statement by the Bears, Patrick sustained a toe injury.

According to Bradd Biggs with 670 The Score, Patrick was carted off the field Monday night.
This is unfortunate for the Bears, as they made significant roster moves this week. Patrick was moved to center, and Michael Schofield started at left guard. Those changes looked like a noticeable improvement before the injury to Patrick. Quarterback Justin Fields looked more comfortable in the pocket and took his time to scan the field for early completions.
Following Patrick’s injury, the Bears would score a touchdown to go up 10-0.
