  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Out again for Week 13

    Bates (concussion) is out for Thursday's game against the Lions.

    Bates has played in just three games this season due to shoulder issues and a concussion he suffered in Week 11 against the Packers. Teven Jenkins has been starting at left guard for the Bears.

  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Ruled out for Week 12

    Bates (concussion) won't play against Minnesota on Sunday.

    Bates suffered a head injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay and hasn't been able to practice this week. The Bears have a quick turnaround after Week 12 with a Thanksgiving Day game against Detroit, and Bates will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol by then in order to be able to suit up Week 13. Teven Jenkins is likely to start at left guard until Bates is able to return.
