Apparently, Jones has been experiencing concussions symptoms from a hit he received during the Bears game against the 49ers and has been ruled out of Monday night’s game as a result.
Jones joins three other Bears players ruled out for the Vikings’ game: DT Gervon Dexter Sr., RB Roschon Johnson, and OT Ryan Bates. Starting RB D’Andre Swift is questionable to play with a groin injury. With both Jones and Bates out at tackle, that means it will likely be Larry Borom that plays left tackle for the Bears on Monday night.
Borom has allowed 14 pressures, including 6 sacks, in 123 pass blocking snaps for the Bears this season, which isn’t good. His pass blocking efficiency of 91.6 this season ranks 87th of 89 tackles with at least 100 pass blocking snaps. His run blocking PFF grade of 44.6 is poor.
