Not much has gone right for the Chicago Bears this season. This is yet another setback for the organization.
Khalil Mack had been out of the lineup since Oct. 24. The Bears were hoping he could return at full strength after getting a few weeks of rest.
In the end, the Bears decided it would be in Mack’s best interest to undergo season-ending foot surgery.
“Man this sucks! But at least he will be healthier next year. The bears defense isnt the same without him,” said a Bears fan.
“Oh come on!! Mack’s toughness is undeniable as he was playing through this injury. Huge loss for the #Bears,” another commented.
“Get well soon 52. 2022 has always been the target year to begin competing anyways,” one fan said.
Take a look at a few more reactions to Friday’s unfortunate Khalil Mack news.
