adam Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 From the Twitter Doctors, it looks like a season ending injury and potentially something that will impact next season. So the Bears will need a new LT on opening day next season. Just another need for a team with a ton of needs. Poles needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 Sucks - hopefully he heals strong and ends up bouncing back - makes Bears decision to upgrade ot easier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 I hate seeing anyone injured, but he was not the answer, and so this forces us to address the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concur. No injury means people will think he was a possible answer, which he wasn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 I understand players end up being who they are. Braxton was an excellent pick for a 5th rounder but just has not grew into a top flight LT. He is a journeyman type, he wasnt a first rounder that didnt work out. He could start on half the teams in the NFL but we need better than that. He would be a perfect swing type T. That doesnt mean Poles failed on that pick. We did not have a first round pick in the 2022 draft . If you look back at OL players that excelled after the first rounf it is a very short list. This was a win for Poles to get by until this point in time. Now we have the draft capital to upgrade the position and have a competent backup. The OL has been a mess because of Jenkins injury issues and the Nate Davis fiascal. Bates only missed one game due to injury up until this year so Poles did not acquire a preinjured FA. Injuries are sometimes random and you cant predict them. Those are why we are a mess, not because of Braxton Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 Here's some good news on Braxton Jones from Ian Rappaport. I still think Jones is no better than a swing tackle for us, and we should not have him starting, but of course i wish the guy a full and speedy recovery.
