After Monday night’s loss to the 49ers, the Bear changed out 40 percent of their starting offensive line. After Sunday’s win over the Vikings, there’s likely to be another 40-percent turnover.

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports that guard Chris Spencer will have an MRI on Monday to assess a knee injury suffered in the first half. Via multiple reports, guard Lance Louis (pictured) is believed to have an MCL injury, sustained when on the wrong end of a blindside, post-turnover block from Vikings defensive end Jared Allen.

Three other Bears starters were injured on Sunday: running back Matt Forte (ankle), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle), and receiver Devin Hester (concussion).
