In a battle against the elements Saturday, the Bears are taking up arms.
“I don’t play with sleeves,” receiver N’Keal Harry said Thursday.
“I can’t do the sleeves,” tight end Cole Kmet said.
“We’ll see … if it’s bad,” linebacker Brandon Morrow said. “But probably not.”
With a projected high of 11 degrees, Saturday’s Bears-Bills game could prove to be one of the five-coldest ever at Soldier Field, depending on the temperature at kickoff. Frostbite could threaten exposed skin, especially when the alternative — slathering on slippery Vaseline — is a no-go for pass-catchers who need their hands to be sticky.
