Bates (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Green Bay, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Bates was diagnosed with a concussion after being hit in the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Jake Curhan will remain at left guard for the rest of the contest.
Bates has entered concussion protocols and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers. Bates got the start at left guard Sunday in place of Teven Jenkins (ankle). Jake Curhan will fill in at left guard while Bates is being evaluated for a concussion.
Bates (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Bates was activated off IR on Saturday, and he will be available for Sunday's game, though it's unclear whether he'll start or serve in a backup role on the Bears' offensive line.
The Bears activated Bates (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Bates is questionable to play Sunday against the Patriots, but he's trending toward suiting up after being a full practice participant all week. It's unclear whether he'll start or provide depth for Chicago's offensive line should he play.
Bates (shoulder) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports. Bates now has a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be placed on the active roster. Although the Bears only held a walkthrough Wednesday, the Penn State product was listed as a limited participant for the session.
The Bears placed Bates (shoulder/elbow) on IR on Saturday. Bates' spot on the active roster will be taken by offensive lineman Scott Daly. With Bates out at least the next four games, Nate Davis will have to take over at right guard in a full-time role, beginning Sunday night versus the Texans.
Bates (shoulder/elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Texans. Bates played 38 offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Titans, rotating playing time with starting right guard Nate Davis, who was in for 18 plays. Davis should get the nod in that spot versus Houston.
The Bills agreed to trade Bates to the Bears on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports. The trade will not become official until March 13 pending Bates' physical. The 27-year-old suited up for all 17 games in 2023 as a reserve guard. He will now look to take advantage of his new opportunity in Chicago.
