The Bears may be missing a few starters when they play the Jaguars in Week 6.

It might not be just Jaquan Brisker that the Chicago Bears are missing from the starting lineup when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

The Bears held their first practice of the week on Wednesday, and though just a walk-through, both cornerback Kyler Gordon and guard Teven Jenkins were both listed as limited.

Gordon is dealing with a heel injury and Jenkins continues to be bothered by an ankle injury that forced him out of the Bears' Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers.

The aforementioned Brisker will not play in Week 6 due to a concussion he self-reported earlier in the week. Elijah Hicks will start in Brisker's place, per the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs

Reserves picking up the slack for Gordon and Jenkins if they were to miss the game include offensive lineman Bill Murray -- who spent his first two seasons in the NFL as a defensive lineman for the New England Patriots before the organization moved him to the other side of the ball in 2022 -- and cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Josh Blackwell.
