Bears to Regain Starting Tackles for Packers Game

Braxton Jones, Darnell Wright Set to Return

The Chicago Bears will receive a major boost to their offensive line this week as starting tackles Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright are expected to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Jones has missed the last two games with a calf injury, while Wright has been out since Week 1 with an ankle injury. Their return will provide a much-needed boost to a Bears offense that has struggled to protect quarterback Justin Fields this season.

Importance of Jones and Wright's Return

Jones and Wright are two of the Bears' most important offensive linemen. Jones, a rookie, has started all six games at left tackle this season and has been one of the team's most consistent performers.

Wright, a second-year player, has started 19 games at right tackle for the Bears. He is a physical and athletic blocker who is also a key part of the team's running game.

With Jones and Wright back in the lineup, the Bears' offensive line should be much more effective in both pass protection and run blocking. This will give Fields more time to throw and open up more running lanes for running backs David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert.

Challenge of Packers' Defense

The Bears' offensive line will face a tough challenge this week against the Packers' defense. Green Bay has one of the best pass rushes in the NFL, led by outside linebackers Rashan Gary and Preston Smith.

The Packers also have a strong run defense, so the Bears will need to be able to generate a push up front in order to move the ball effectively.

If the Bears' offensive line can play well against the Packers, it will be a major step forward for the team. A win over Green Bay would also give the Bears a much-needed boost in the NFC North standings.
