We have our second member of a chain gang going down with an injury today, as one more had to be removed from the field during the Texans and Bears gang.
Early on in the third quarter, an elder member of the chain gang tripped over a sign on the side and smashed his head on the ground.
He would not up.
Medical personnel would come out to check on him as play halted between the Bears and Texans.
Prayers up: A member of the chain gang took a serious fall and is now being carted off the field

The Week 2 game between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders was briefly delayed after a member of the NFLâs chain gang suffered a medical emergency on the sideline during that game as well.
Just like in the Texans and Bears game, the chain gang member had to be taken off on a stretcher.
In that game, the chain gang member collapsed with 2:36 remaining the second quarter of the contest. The game had to be delayed as the Ravensâ medical staff tended to the worker and appeared to administer CPR to him.
Players and coaches from both teams took a knee on the field to pray for the best.
The Ravens provided an update on the chain gang worker shortly after he was taken off the field. The team posted a statement to X (formerly Twitter) that the employee was âalert and responsiveâ upon leaving the field and was taken to a local hospital.
Just like in that game, we should expect an update on the chain gang member in the Texans-Bears contest on Sunday Night Football.
As for this game, the Texans are trying to remain undefeated while the Bears are trying to do the same thing.
