Bears Activate Offensive Lineman Ryan Bates

News summary

The Chicago Bears have activated offensive lineman Ryan Bates from injured reserve just ahead of their Week 10 game against the New England Patriots. Bates, who has been recovering from a shoulder injury, participated fully in practice all week and is expected to dress for the game, although it remains uncertain if he will start. With the Bears' offensive line severely impacted by injuries, including the absence of their top three tackles, Bates' return is considered timely. Head coach Matt Eberflus indicated that Bates may fill the right guard position, allowing Matt Pryor to shift to right tackle. Additionally, the Bears have elevated rookie linebacker Carl Jones Jr. from the practice squad due to another player's questionable status. Bates' journey to Chicago includes a trade from the Bills, making this matchup particularly significant for him and the team's struggling offensive line.
