Bobby Massie is in NFL's concussion protocol By: Bryan Perez | 10 minutes ago
After exiting Week 10’s game with a concussion, Bears right tackle Bobby Massie is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.
Massie, who has started all nine games for the Bears this season, is the lowest graded offensive tackle on the roster, according to Pro Football Focus. His 46.4 season grade is the worst of his career so far.
How is it we always get so lucky that guys wait 'til the get to Chicago to play the worst football of their career? Shitty teams produce some shitty players. Guy who play down to the level of the team in general. He played better at AZ because they won and yet the still let him go. These are the kind of pickups Gase needs to avoid.
He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Mike Adams, who hasn’t fared much better in limited playing time. For his 30 snaps in 2016, PFF has issued Adams a 47.0 grade, just about equal to the performance of Massie.
And he hasn't played in a year and half so what else does that say about Massie. Hit him in the head twice more and then put him on the IR.
Adams missed Wednesday’s practice due to an illness.
Despite being in the concussion protocol, the Bears are optimistic that Massie will be cleared and ready to play against the Giants in Week 11.
Oh goody.
Massie was signed to a three-year, $18 million deal this offseason by the Bears. His play has been more like a backup than a starting quality tackle, but with little depth at the position on the roster, Chicago needs him to get healthy in a hurry or Jay Cutler will be an even more marked man than he already is.
me too. that would be a thing of beauty and a good line to develop a qb behind. i'd hold my breath, but i'll just pass out. i drink when i want to pass out.

I have a feeling they will bring in a better RT next year. I think they'd be crazy not to. LOL, but sometimes the Bears do the crazy thing anyway.

Well Cam Robinson could be a great candidate for RT if he slides to the upper 2nd round level. Walterfootball mentions one team already has him graded as a 2nd round talent. His pass protection has also improved.
11/12/16: There is a fair amount of debate about Robinson for the NFL. One team said they had Robinson as a top-15 pick and believe that he is a Russell Okung- or Ryan Clady-caliber left tackle for the NFL. Another playoff team graded Robinson late in the first round. That organization thinks a team could get by with him at left tackle, but ideally, Robinson would be a right tackle. One NFC team gave Robinson a second-round grade. That team said that one could get away with Robinson at left tackle, but that he could have problems with speed rushers. They said they project him similar to Tampa Bay's second-year left tackle Donovan Smith. This is a weak tackle draft, however, so Robinson will probably go in the top-20 picks.
Robinson had a strong start to the 2016 season with a number of impressive performances, including games against USC and Arkansas. He held Razorbacks edge rusher Deatrich Wise Jr. to two tackles. Robinson held his own against Ole Miss, but did have an ugly play getting bull rushed by the Rebels' Marquis Haynes. Robinson had a rough start against Tennessee's Derek Barnett giving up a sack and some pressures before settling down to have a strong final three quarters versus the Volunteers edge rusher. Robinson had a good game against Texas A&M superstar Myles Garrett and kept Garrett from getting a sack.
Overall, Robinson's pass protection has been improved this season. His bending at the knee looks improved, his feet are better, and he looks quicker in his drop. Sources say that he lost 10-15 pounds prior to the season and that has helped him in pass blocking. Robinson is still very good in the ground game.
We could trade down depending which QB's are on the board. That could only work if we got Dak Prescott lucky. Sigh....
