Patriots: Is Morgan Moses Playing Today vs Bears?

Is Morgan Moses playing today? That is the biggest question hanging over the New England Patriots before Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Moses, New England's starting right tackle, is officially questionable with a foot injury, and his final status will not be known until the Patriots announce their inactives before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff in Chicago.





Moses was limited all week, and that leaves his status in real doubt


Patriots Wire reported on Thursday that Morgan Moses is questionable for the game against the Chicago Bears after being a limited participant in practice all week. The injury is listed as a foot injury on the official report, and Patriots Wire noted it flared up again in last week's win over the New York Jets.


The New England Patriots' official injury report for Wednesday, October 21 lists Morgan Moses as questionable with a foot injury after limited participation on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On a short week, limited work every day usually means the team is protecting the player for a game-time decision, not ruling him out early.





If Moses cannot go, Caleb Lomu is ready for his first NFL start


If Morgan Moses cannot play in Chicago, rookie first-round pick Caleb Lomu would step in at right tackle for the New England Patriots. Patriots.com projected the starting line as Will Campbell at left tackle, Walter Rouse at left guard, Jared Wilson at center, Matt Pryor at right guard, and either Morgan Moses or Caleb Lomu at right tackle.


Lomu has already filled this exact role for the New England Patriots. Patriots.com noted Lomu played 59 snaps at right tackle when Moses left last Sunday's win over the New York Jets, and if Moses is out tonight, that fill-in job becomes a Caleb Lomu first NFL start on Thursday Night Football at Soldier Field.

A patchwork Patriots line has to protect Drake Maye in Chicago


Morgan Moses is not the only question on the New England Patriots offensive line. Starting guards Alijah Vera-Tucker, with a hamstring injury, and Ben Brown, with a knee injury, were both ruled out for the Chicago Bears game, and head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Walter Rouse and Matt Pryor will start at guard.


That means quarterback Drake Maye could be playing behind two new guards and a backup right tackle on the road, against a Chicago Bears defense that Patriots.com noted ranks second in the NFL on third down. New England does get some stability back elsewhere: TreVeyon Henderson carries no game status after full participation this week, so the Patriots run game is intact. Both the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bears enter Thursday night at 4-2.

Caleb Lomu starts at right tackle for the New England Patriots if Morgan Moses cannot play. Lomu played 59 snaps at right tackle against the New York Jets last week after Moses left that game.

The New England Patriots play the Chicago Bears on Thursday, October 22 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Soldier Field in Chicago. It is a Week 7 Thursday Night Football game, and both teams are 4-2.

Kyle Monangai Ruled Out: Patriots Catch Break vs Bears

Image
The New England Patriots will face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Thursday night with Kyle Monangai ruled out for a third straight game, as the Bears running back continues to recover from thumb and toe injuries. Monangai was a non-participant on all three of Chicago's injury reports during the short week, and his absence leaves D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson to lead the league's top rushing attack against a Patriots defense that has held five of its six opponents under 100 rushing yards this season. Both the Patriots and the Bears enter the Week 7 game at 4-2. Why does losing Monangai hurt the Bears rushing attack without Monangai? The Chicago Bears are the only NFL team with two running backs over 300 rushing yards this season, and that balance is what made their ground game so hard to stop. Kyle Monangai has 324 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 60 carries in just four games, while D'Andre Swift leads Chicago with 398 rushing yards. Monangai ave...
