Putting Jones on injured reserve takes Chicago's left tackle out of the lineup while Caleb Williams is already sidelined. The Bears now have to protect a backup quarterback with less stability on the blind side.

PFM Impact on Chicago Bears
Without Williams, Chicago loses the quarterback who gives the offense its best chance to extend plays and create something when protection breaks down. The Bears can still function with Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent, but the offense becomes more limited and puts more pressure on the run game and receivers to keep drives moving.
Sewell's move to injured reserve removes linebacker depth from a defense PFM already sees as the weaker side of the team. It is a real depth loss but not enough by itself to change the overall defensive evaluation.
