The veteran Whitehair left Sunday’s 20-12 loss against the New York Giants early with a knee injury. Chicago head coach Matt Eberflus told the media that Whitehair would miss some time with the injury and it is unknown when he’ll return. With Whitehair out, Chicago’s young offensive line takes a big hit when it comes to experience.

Skylar Thompson, QB, Miami Dolphins:
Thompson was active for the first time in his NFL career last Thursday in the Dolphins first loss of the season to Cincinnati Bengals. Following starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s head injury in the second quarter, Thompson was the backup behind Teddy Bridgewater for the remainder of the game. With Tagovailoa out for this week’s game against the Jets, Thompson is expected to be active again.
Elijah Lee, LB, Kansas City Chiefs:
The Chiefs released Lee early last week, but quickly re-signed him to their practice squad. He was then elevated to the active roster just prior to their Sunday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the Super Bowl LV rematch, Lee played primarily on special teams and made an early impact by recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff. The fumble recovery led to a Kansas City touchdown as they went on to beat the Buccaneers, 41-31 — improving 3-1 on the season.
