The Chicago Bears have won three of their last four contests and currently have a 4-3 record heading into their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

5-4 is certainly a good start when you have a rookie quarterback at the helm, but Chicago has to feel like they’ve let a few wins slip through their fingers.

One reinforcement is on the way that could make a difference on offense.

According to journalist Max Dible:

The Chicago Bears offensive line is in a bad way due to several injuries across multiple positions, though the team has offered some good news ahead of its Week 9 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Chicago brought one player back from IR on Saturday, November 2, while elevating two offensive linemen from the practice squad.

“The Bears activated Larry Borom off injured reserve,” Courtney Cronin of ESPN reported via an X post. “He’s been working at left tackle this week with Braxton Jones and Kiran Amegadjie out for the Cardinals game. OL Jake Curhan and CB Reddy Steward were elevated from the practice squad.”

“Teven Jenkins was good today,” Eberflus said. “He participated in most of the practice. He looks good out there, feels good, so we’re hopeful there.”

Chicago needs as much health luck as it can get on an offensive front that has struggled to protect rookie quarterback Caleb Williams even when healthy. Zoltán Buday of Pro Football Focus ranked the Bears offensive line 20th out of 32 teams in the league heading into Week 9.

It will be interesting to see how Chicago’s offense looks with Jenkins in the lineup.
