LOL at this thread. He'll be injured week 4 for sure. He's the most overrated player on the team and Pace should trade him before his inevitable season ending injury. Trade him for a 4th round pick so we can get some value for him. Fans constantly defend him because he's a "fan favorite" but he's worthless sitting on the sidelines every year. Plus he's one of the older players on the team, he's only going to decline with age and multiple surgeries. And now he's pissed off Nagy and the rest of the team.

Long suffered multiple injuries during the 2016 season. He played the first seven games of the season with a torn
labrum in his left shoulder. He missed the Bears' Week 8 contest against the
Minnesota Vikings due to a strained triceps. Long then severely injured his right ankle two weeks later against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was carted off the field. He was placed on injured reserve on November 15.
On December 5, 2017, Long was placed on injured reserve after aggravating a shoulder injury in Week 13, while also being bothered by ankle and finger injuries throughout the season.
Long started the first eight games of the 2018 season, but suffered a foot injury in Week 8 against the
New York Jets and was ruled out 6–8 weeks just a few days later. He was placed on injured reserve on November 3, 2018.
