Bears and Cardinals Battle Injuries in Week 9

The Chicago Bears will be missing several key players in their Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, notably defensive end Montez Sweat and cornerback Kyler Gordon. Sweat, dealing with a shin injury, and Gordon, with a hamstring issue, were both declared inactive after limited participation in practice. Additionally, safety Jaquan Brisker is sidelined due to a concussion, and the Bears' offensive line struggles with the absence of tackles Kiran Amegadjie and Braxton Jones. The defense faces further challenges as Tyrique Stevenson, though active, will not start due to disciplinary reasons. The Cardinals also have significant injuries, with cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and defensive lineman Naquan Jones among those ruled out.
