Larry Borom’s Injury Update and Fantasy Football Impact

What happened to Larry Borom?

Chicago Bears offensive tackle Larry Borom suffered a concussion in the team’s Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was injured in the third quarter of the game and did not return.

Borom was evaluated for a concussion and placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and his status for the team’s Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers is in doubt.

What is Borom’s injury history?

Borom has had a history of concussions. He suffered a concussion in training camp last year and missed the first two games of the season. He also suffered a concussion in college at Missouri, which caused him to miss the final two games of his junior season.

What is the fantasy football impact of Borom’s injury?

If Borom is unable to play in Week 2, it would be a significant blow to the Bears’ offensive line. Borom is a key blocker in the team’s running game, and he also provides protection for quarterback Justin Fields.

If Borom is out, the Bears would likely move Teven Jenkins to right tackle and insert Alex Bars at left guard. Jenkins is a rookie who has not yet played in an NFL game, and Bars is a journeyman who has started just 12 games in his career.

The downgrade in talent at the tackle position would be a concern for Fields, who was sacked five times in the season opener. It would also make it more difficult for the Bears to run the ball effectively.

Fantasy owners who have Borom on their roster should consider benching him in Week 2. If he is unable to play, the Bears’ offensive line will be significantly weaker, which could lead to a decrease in production from Fields and the running backs.
