LAKE FOREST, Ill. (670 The Score) -- The Bears are now down five tackles and six offensive linemen after rookie tackle Larry Borom entered the concussion protocol Friday.

A fifth-round pick last spring, Borom had emerged as the Bears' latest option at left tackle. The offensive line is also missing tackles Teven Jenkins (back), Germain Ifedi (hip flexor), Elijah Wilkinson (COVID-19) and Badara Traore (quad) as well as right guard James Daniels (quad).

Either tackle Arlington Hambright or guard Alex Bars could step in at left tackle, Bears coach Matt Nagy said.
