Bears OT Braxton Jones ruled out with concussion for game vs. Vikings
The Chicago Bears are already missing quite a few notable players for their prime-time matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, and they were dealt another blow this weekend. On Sunday, the team ruled out left tackle Braxton Jones with a concussion that he suffered in the 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Jones was not listed on the injury report all week, but he reported having concussion symptoms on Saturday. He will not travel with the team, and either Kiran Amegadjie or Larry Borom will start in his place. Jones missed two games this season with a knee injury, and the Bears failed to score touchdowns in either of them while allowing a total of 15 sacks.
The Bears also elevated running back Darrynton Evans from the practice squad with Roschon Johnson out with his own concussion. Evans made his season debut last week against the 49ers.
