Bates (concussion) won't play against Minnesota on Sunday. Bates suffered a head injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay and hasn't been able to practice this week. The Bears have a quick turnaround after Week 12 with a Thanksgiving Day game against Detroit, and Bates will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol by then in order to be able to suit up Week 13. Teven Jenkins is likely to start at left guard until Bates is able to return.

Bates (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Green Bay, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Bates was diagnosed with a concussion after being hit in the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Jake Curhan will remain at left guard for the rest of the contest.
