CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears left tackle Braxton Jones has been placed on injured reserve after sustaining an injury to his right knee against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.
Jones was classified as "week-to-week" and did not practice ahead of the Bears' Week 4 matchup with the Jets. He is eligible to return on Nov. 2 at Seattle.
Theo Benedet, who spent the first three weeks in a rotation with Jones, will start at left tackle, per coach Ben Johnson.
Sunday could be the first time this season that Ozzy Trapilo is active for a game. Trapilo, who started six games at left tackle for Chicago as a rookie last season, worked his way back from a ruptured patellar tendon this offseason far sooner than the Bears had anticipated but was inactive against the Panthers, Vikings and Eagles.
"We're still working out Ozzy just to make sure that the confidence is back," Johnson said. "He's looking better each and every week. He was one of those guys in Wednesday night's practice in pads. He stood out in a good way."
