‘It’s huge’ — Bears getting both starting tackles back from injury for Packers game

The Bears’ depleted offensive line is getting both its tackles back.

Left tackle Braxton Jones and right tackle Darnell Wright both practiced again Friday and do not have injury designations for Sunday’s game against the rival Packers.

“It’s huge,” coach Matt Eberflus said Friday.

Both had been out with knee injuries; Jones missed his last two games and Wright sat out last week.

Guard Teven Jenkins, who has an ankle injury, will not play after hurting his ankle against the Patriots. Matt Pryor, who moved from guard to tackle last week, will return to right guard. Ryan Bates, who returned from injured reserve last week, will start at the left guard spot.

Swing tackle Kiran Amegadjie remains out with a calf injury.

Defensive end Montez Sweat is questionable after hurting his ankle Sunday. Coach Matt Eberflus said the team felt “positive” about whether he’ll play.

Darrell Taylor, who starts on the opposite side, will play Sunday after missing last week’s game with a knee problem.

The Bears kick off against the Packers at noon Sunday at Soldier Field.
