Braxton Jones is going on injured reserve with a neck injury.

The Bears are putting left tackle Braxton Jones on injured reserve with a neck injury that he felt after Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers, coach Matt Eberflus said.

It’s a major blow to a reeling Bears team, and the first time that Jones will have missed a game as a pro. The Bears are expected to put Larry Borom at left tackle, and Eberflus said the Bears could also try fill-in right guard Ja’Tyre Carter there.
