Bears Face Injury Challenges for Thanksgiving Game

The Chicago Bears are grappling with several injuries as they face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Running back Roschon Johnson was ruled out due to a concussion, while wide receiver Keenan Allen left the game with an undisclosed injury. Offensive lineman Darnell Wright is doubtful to return with a knee injury, and Ryan Bates is missing the game due to a concussion from a previous matchup. Backup lineman Kiran Amegadjie is also unavailable, impacting the Bears' offensive line depth. On the defensive side, safety Elijah Hicks is out with an ankle injury, leading Jonathan Owens to start in his place for the second consecutive game. Despite these challenges, the Bears remain relatively healthy compared to other periods this season.
