Patriots to Be without Both Starting Guards vs. Bears
Walter Rouse and Matt Pryor are set to replace the injured guards as New England manages a line that has already lost 10 games to injuries this season.
- On Thursday, the New England Patriots visit the Chicago Bears with starting guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and Ben Brown unlikely to play after sustaining injuries during Sunday's 26-19 victory over the New York Jets.

- Quarterback Drake Maye praised the team's "next-man-up mentality," while the Patriots also placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve Monday and will be without cornerback Carlton Davis III.

- Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards in his return against Atlanta, positioning both teams to maintain momentum heading into Thursday's matchup.
