Teven Jenkins, Brian Branch Out Due to Injuries

Lions' safety Brian Branch will be inactive for Monday's game against the Seahawks due to an illness, with Brandon Joseph expected to play in his place. Bears guard Teven Jenkins will not return to Sunday's game against the Rams after injuring his ribs, resulting in Matt Pryor and Nate Davis shifting positions on the offensive line. The Rams are optimistic as tight end Davis Allen might return after missing two weeks with back spasms, potentially boosting their offense against the Bears. Additionally, Bears cornerback Terell Smith is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams due to a hip injury sustained in Week 3.
