Week 12 is going to be a challenging one for the Chicago Bears, as they face a situation with their linebackers that wasn't predicted at the beginning of the season.
Chicago's final injury report exposed a massive issue with the starting lineup. The Bears will be without their top three linebackers on the field as T.J. Edwards, Tremaine Edmunds, and Noah Sewell were all ruled out for the contest.
That leaves the Bears with D'Marco Jackson and rookie fourth-round pick Ruben Hyppolite II as the starting linebackers for the game. It'll be a good test to see whether Bears general manager Ryan Poles' risk on Hyppolite will pay off or burn them.
