Chicago Bears injury report: Left tackle Braxton Jones sits out practice Wednesday

LAKE FOREST – The Chicago Bears returned to work Wednesday at Halas Hall. After playing Monday night, the team has a somewhat quick turnaround ahead for Sunday’s matchup with the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field.

The Bears held a walkthrough Wednesday in order to get the team some extra rest. So Wednesday’s injury report is an estimate from the training staff.

Left tackle Braxton Jones (concussion) remains sidelined. Jones reported concussion symptoms on Sunday morning. He did not play Monday in the loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Jones had not previously been on the injury report last week. Rookie Kiran Amegadjie played in place of Jones at left tackle Monday.

Additionally, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter (knee), left guard Teven Jenkins (calf) and offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion) all sat out practice Wednesday.

Defensive end Darrell Taylor (shoulder) and running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) were full participants. Johnson has missed two consecutive games since suffering a concussion Thanksgiving Day against the Lions.

Getting Johnson back could help in the run game. Starting running back D’Andre Swift has taken on much of the load with Johnson out. The Bears have missed having a one-two punch at the running back spot.

On Monday against the Vikings, the Bears used Travis Homer out of the backfield and even lined up receiver DJ Moore in the backfield several times.
