The New England Patriots make a quick return to the field Thursday night as they look to win their fourth straight game in primetime against the Chicago Bears.
Drake Maye will have several backup offensive lineman protecting him as a spate of injuries has left the Patriots without Ben Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker. New England had already seen injuries to right guard Michael Onwenyu and top backup guard Greg Van Roten, placing both of them on the injured reserve.
