The New England Patriots are in a close battle with the Chicago Bears during Week 10 of NFL action. As of now, they lead 13-3 late in the third quarter.
Coming into the game, the Patriots had a relatively positive injury report. While they were without key players like safety Kyle Dugger and defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, overall, the injury list was favorable.
However, they’ve now encountered an in-game setback.
According to an update on X, defensive back Marcellas Dial Jr. had to leave the game due to a head injury, and his return is uncertain. Head injuries often suggest a possible concussion.
Dial has appeared in nine games this season for the Patriots, recording four tackles and a forced fumble coming into today’s matchup. At 23, he’s viewed as a promising talent for New England’s future, so the team hopes this injury won’t sideline him for long.
So far, the Patriots’ defense has performed well, keeping Caleb Williams under control, while the offense has done enough to maintain the lead. Ideally, they’ll continue their strong defensive play and prevent the Bears from reaching the end zone.
This situation remains fluid, and we’ll provide updates as they come in.
With any luck, in a few hours, we’ll be discussing a significant Patriots victory. They’ve played well enough to win, but they’ll need a solid final quarter to secure it.
