The Bears have been hit pretty hard by injuries in 2019. With defensive end Akiem Hicks and linebacker Danny Trevathan already ruled out for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Lions, the Bears are likely to be without two starters on offense as well.
Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion) are both expected to miss the game.

Gabriel is the more noteworthy of the two considering the role he plays on offense. He's currently third on the team in targets (48), second in receiving yards (353) and tied for first in receiving touchdowns (4). His potential absence will create an opportunity for Javon Wims to receive more playing time, although he didn't do much with his 34 snaps last week. He ended the Giants game with a 52.7 grade from Pro Football Focus.
The void at tight end will likely be filled by rookie Jesper Horsted, who was promoted from the practice squad for the first time in Week 12.
