Chicago Bears nearly lead league in games lost to injury again

The Chicago Bears have had a lot of health issues the last couple of years and they once again plagued the team throughout 2017.

Football Outsiders has a great Adjusted Games Lost metric where they really break down and dissect not only the number of games lost to players but it factors in things like starters and how often players that are listed as questionable played.

In 2016 the Bears had the most ever games lost to injury with 158.8, which blew the previous record out of the water. Well the team improved a little bit in 2017, they still finished second-to-last to Washington.
