If the Bears are going to improve their team — and their offensive line needs an influx of health and skill — they need to do it by 3 p.m. Tuesday. That’s when the clock strikes on the NFL’s trade deadline.
If general manager Ryan Pace elects to make a move, it would likely be to shore up a shaky offensive line. The Bears played most of Sunday’s game without three starters: right tackle Bobby Massie, who hurt his knee against the Saints; center Cody Whitehair, who hurt his calf against the Rams; and left guard James Daniels, who is out for the season with a pec injury.
