It seems that the Chicago Bears will have their starting offensive line intact on Sunday when the team plays the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.

Throughout the week, both Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright were listed on the team's injury report. Jones has been dealing with a knee issue while Wright seems to have been playing through a back injury. When the Bears released their final Week 4 injury report on Friday, neither were given an injury designation for Sunday's game.

With Jones and Wright playing on Sunday, expect Matt Pryor to remain the team's starting right guard. After starting for the Bears at right guard against the Indianapolis Colts, Pryor seemed to confirm that he was the starting right guard moving forward.

While veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen was given a questionable designation for Sunday's game, Matt Eberflus told reporters on Friday that the expectation is that Allen will play. Along with Rome Odunze not being given an injury designation for the game against the Rams, Sunday will mark the second time this season that Caleb Williams will have Allen, Odunze, and DJ Moore as options in the Bears' passing game.

The fact that both Andrew Billings and Kevin Byard were able to practice on Friday is an encouraging sign that both will be available. Despite Thursday's injury report looking rather ominous for the Bears' defensive line, it seems that the unit will be all systems go on Sunday. Of course, Zacch Pickens remains sidelined with a groin injury.

There should also be attention called to Khari Blasingame being healthy. Given the struggles that the Bears have had in the run game, the return of Blasingame could be a worthwhile addition to the backfield.
