Bears DT Andrew Billings ruled out with chest injury vs. Cardinals

The Chicago Bears lost a key cog on their defensive line against the Arizona Cardinals. Defensive tackle Andrew Billings left the game in the third quarter with a chest injury and was quickly ruled out.

Billings has been one of the most important players on defense. He's excellent when it comes to run defense and has taken on double teams all season long. His absence hurts an already poor run defense, which has been gashed by the Cardinals all game long.

We'll see what the coaching staff has to say about his status going forward. Billings left with three total tackles. The Bears trail the Cardinals 24-9 in the fourth quarter.
