Bears left tackle Braxton Jones is one of the most mild-mannered players on the team. So it seemed a little out-of-character to see Jones visibly upset as he walked off the field and told an official, “I couldn’t [bleeping] see,” when he was removed from the game in the third quarter of Sunday’s 31-26 loss to the Lions at Ford Field.
As it turned out, Jones was OK. Officials had him leave the field after Jones complained of dizziness after falling to the ground and quickly getting up on Khalil Herbert’s rush for no gain in the third quarter. Jones missed two plays — Justin Fields threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore on the second one — with Larry Borom at left tackle. But Jones returned on the next possession and finished the game with no repercussions.
