The Bears will face the NFL’s most aggressive blitzing defense without their starting left tackle. Braxton Jones was ruled out of Monday nights game on Sunday with a concussion.

Jones reported symptoms to the team for the first time on Sunday morning. They soon ruled him out for the Vikings game.

The Bears have two options: to move guard Matt Pryor outside or to play rookie Kiran Amegadjie at the position. He was the team’s third-round pick and has fought injuries for most of the season. He had quad surgery last year while at Harvard.
